Isaiah 54:1-3

New International Version

The Future Glory of Zion

54 “Sing, barren woman,^(A)
    you who never bore a child;
burst into song, shout for joy,^(B)
    you who were never in labor;^(C)
because more are the children^(D) of the desolate^(E) woman
    than of her who has a husband,^(F)”
says the Lord.
²“Enlarge the place of your tent,^(G)
    stretch your tent curtains wide,
    do not hold back;
lengthen your cords,
    strengthen your stakes.^(H)
³For you will spread out to the right and to the left;
    your descendants^(I) will dispossess nations^(J)
    and settle in their desolate^(K) cities.

Isaiah 54:1-3

New King James Version

A Perpetual Covenant of Peace

54 “Sing, O ^(A)barren,
You who have not borne!
Break forth into singing, and cry aloud,
You who have not labored with child!
For more are the children of the desolate
Than the children of the married woman,” says the Lord.
²“Enlarge^(B) the place of your tent,
And let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings;
Do not spare;
Lengthen your cords,
And strengthen your stakes.
³For you shall expand to the right and to the left,
And your descendants will ^(C)inherit the nations,
And make the desolate cities inhabited.
