“Do not be afraid, for you will not be put to shame;(A)
don’t be humiliated, for you will not be disgraced.
For you will forget the shame of your youth,
and you will no longer remember
the disgrace of your widowhood.(B)
Indeed, your husband is your Maker(C)
his name is the Lord of Armies—
and the Holy One of Israel(D) is your Redeemer;(E)
he is called the God of the whole earth.
For the Lord has called you,
like a wife deserted and wounded in spirit,(F)
a wife of one’s youth(G) when she is rejected,”
says your God.
“I deserted you for a brief moment,(H)
but I will take you back with abundant compassion.
In a surge of anger
I hid my face(I) from you for a moment,
but I will have compassion on you
with everlasting love,”(J)
says the Lord your Redeemer.

“Fear not, for you will (A)not be put to shame;
And do not feel humiliated, for you will not be disgraced;
But you will forget the (B)shame of your youth,
And no longer remember the (C)disgrace of your widowhood.
For your (D)husband is your Maker,
Whose name is the Lord of armies;
And your (E)Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel,
Who is called the (F)God of all the earth.
For the Lord has called you,
Like a wife (G)forsaken and grieved in spirit,
Even like a wife of one’s youth when she is rejected,”
Says your God.
[a]For a (H)brief moment I abandoned you,
But with great compassion I will (I)gather you.
In an [b](J)outburst of anger
I hid My face from you for a moment,
But with everlasting (K)favor I will (L)have compassion on you,”
Says the Lord your (M)Redeemer.
