Future Blessings For Israel
1   Sing, O barren, you that did not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, you that did not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, says the LORD.
2   Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch  forth  the  curtains  of  your  habitations: spare not, lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes;
3   For you shall break forth on the right hand and  on  the  left;  and  your  descendants  shall inherit the nations, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
4   Fear not; for you shall not be ashamed: neither be you confounded; 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 any more.
5   For your Maker is your husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and your Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
6   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.
7   For a small moment have I forsaken you; but with great mercies will I gather you.
8   In a little wrath I hid my face from you for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on you, says the LORD your Redeemer.
9   For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for  as  I  have  sworn  that  the  waters  of  Noah should  no  more  go over  the  earth;  so  have  I sworn that I would not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.
10   For the mountains shall depart, and the hills  be  removed;  but  my  kindness  shall  not depart from you, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, says the LORD that has mercy on you.
11   O you afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems, and lay your foundations with sapphires.
12   And I will make your pinnacles of agates, and your gates of carbuncles, and all your walls of precious stones.
13   And all your children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of your children.
14   In righteousness shall you be established: you shall be far from oppression; for you shall not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near you.
15   Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not from me: whosoever shall gather together against you shall fall for your sake.
16   Behold, I have created the blacksmith that blows the coals in the fire, and that brings forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the destroyer to destroy.
17   No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, says the LORD.
