“Don’t be afraid, for you will not be ashamed.
    Don’t be confounded, for you will not be disappointed.
For you will forget the shame of your youth.
    You will remember the reproach of your widowhood no more.
For your Maker is your husband; Yahweh of Armies is his name.
    The Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer.
    He will be called the God of the whole earth.
For Yahweh has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit,
    even a wife of youth, when she is cast off,” says your God.

“For a small moment I have forsaken you,
    but I will gather you with great mercies.
In overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment,
    but with everlasting loving kindness I will have mercy on you,” says Yahweh your Redeemer.

Do not fear, for you shall not be ashamed nor be humiliated;
    for you shall not be put to shame,
for you shall forget the shame of your youth
    and shall not remember the reproach of your widowhood anymore.
For your Maker is your husband,
    the Lord of Hosts is His name;
and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel;
    He shall be called the God of the whole earth.
For the Lord has called you
    as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit,
and a wife of youth
    when you were refused, says your God.
For a small moment I have forsaken you,
    but with great mercies I will gather you.
In a little wrath
    I hid My face from you for a moment;
but with everlasting kindness
    I will have mercy on you,
    says the Lord your Redeemer.
