“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.
The God who made you is like your husband.
    His name is the Lord All-Powerful.
The Holy One of Israel is the one who saves you.
    He is called the God of all the earth.
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.
God says, “I left you for a short time,
    but with great kindness I will bring you back again.
I became very angry
    and hid from you for a time,
but I will show you mercy with kindness forever,”
    says the Lord who saves you.
