Isaiah 54:4-8
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 Do not fear, for you will not be ashamed;
do not be discouraged, for you will not suffer disgrace,
for you will forget the shame of your youth,
and the disgrace of your widowhood you will remember no more.(A)
5 For your Maker is your husband;
the Lord of hosts is his name;
the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer;
the God of the whole earth he is called.(B)
6 For the Lord has called you
like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit,
like the wife of a man’s youth when she is cast off,
says your God.(C)
7 For a brief moment I abandoned you,
but with great compassion I will gather you.(D)
8 In overflowing wrath for a moment
I hid my face from you,
but with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,
says the Lord, your Redeemer.(E)

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.

the Lord of hosts is his name;
(C)and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer,

like a wife deserted and grieved in spirit,

but with great compassion I will gather you.

I hid my face from you,
