“Do not be afraid;(A) you will not be put to shame.(B)
    Do not fear disgrace;(C) you will not be humiliated.
You will forget the shame of your youth(D)
    and remember no more the reproach(E) of your widowhood.(F)
For your Maker(G) is your husband(H)
    the Lord Almighty is his name—
the Holy One(I) of Israel is your Redeemer;(J)
    he is called the God of all the earth.(K)
The Lord will call you back(L)
    as if you were a wife deserted(M) and distressed in spirit—
a wife who married young,(N)
    only to be rejected,” says your God.
“For a brief moment(O) I abandoned(P) you,
    but with deep compassion(Q) I will bring you back.(R)
In a surge of anger(S)
    I hid(T) my face from you for a moment,
but with everlasting kindness(U)
    I will have compassion(V) on you,”
    says the Lord your Redeemer.(W)

“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 Yahweh of Hosts—
and the Holy One of Israel(D) is your Redeemer;(E)
He is called the God of all the 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 great 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.
