Isaiah 54:4-8

International Children’s Bible

⁴ “Don’t be afraid because you will not be ashamed.
    Don’t be embarrassed because you will not be disgraced.
You will forget the shame you felt earlier.
    You will not remember the shame you felt when you lost your husband.
⁵ This is because the God who made you is like your husband.
    His name is the Lord of heaven’s armies.
The Holy One of Israel is the one who saves you.
    He is called the God of all the earth.
⁶ You were like a woman whose husband left her.
    And you were very sad.
You were like a wife who married young
    and then her husband left her.
But the Lord called you to be his,”
    says your God.
⁷ God says, “I left you, but only for a short time.
    But with great kindness I will bring you back again.
⁸ I became very angry
    and hid from you for a short time.
But I will show you mercy with kindness forever,”
    says the Lord your close relative who saves you.
