Isaiah 54:4-8
English Standard Version
4 “Fear not, (A)for you will not be ashamed;
be not confounded, for you will not be disgraced;
for you will forget the shame of your youth,
and the reproach of your widowhood you will remember no more.
5 (B)For your Maker is your husband,
the Lord of hosts is his name;
(C)and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer,
(D)the God of the whole earth he is called.
6 (E)For the Lord has called you
like a wife deserted and grieved in spirit,
like a wife of youth when she is cast off,
says your God.
7 (F)For a brief moment I deserted you,
but with great compassion I will gather you.
8 (G)In overflowing anger for a moment
I hid my face from you,
(H)but with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,”
says the Lord, your Redeemer.
Isaiah 54:4-8
Common English Bible
4 Don’t fear,
because you won’t be ashamed;
don’t be dismayed,
because you won’t be disgraced.
You will forget the shame of your youth;
you’ll no longer remember the disgrace of your widowhood.
5 The one marrying you is the one who made you—
the Lord of heavenly forces is his name.
The one redeeming you is the holy one of Israel,
the one called the God of all the earth.
6 As an abandoned and dejected woman the Lord has summoned you;
as a young wife when she is rejected,
says your God.
7 For a brief moment I abandoned you,
but with great mercy I will bring you back.
8 In an outburst of rage,
I hid my face from you for a moment,
but with everlasting love I have consoled you,
says your redeemer, the Lord.
