1<\/sup>GIVE praise, O thou barren, that bearest not: sing forth praise, and make a joyful noise, thou that didst not travail with child: for many are the children of the desolate, more than of her that hath a husband, saith the Lord.<\/span> <\/p>\n 2<\/sup>Enlarge the place of thy tent, and stretch out the skins of thy tabernacles, spare not: lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes.<\/span> <\/p>\n 3<\/sup>For thou shalt pass on to the right hand, and to the left: and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and shall inhabit the desolate cities.<\/span> <\/p>\n 4<\/sup>Fear not, for thou shalt not be confounded, nor blush: for thou shalt not be put to shame, because thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt remember no more the reproach of thy widowhood.<\/span> <\/p>\n 5<\/sup>For he that made thee shall rule over thee, the Lord of hosts is his name: and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, shall be called the God of all the earth.<\/span> <\/p>\n 6<\/sup>For the Lord hath called thee as woman forsaken and mourning in spirit, end se a wife cast off from her youth, said thy God.<\/span> <\/p>\n 7<\/sup>For a, small moment have I forsaken thee, but with great mercies will I gather thee.<\/span> <\/p>\n 8<\/sup>In a moment of indignation have I hid my face a little while from thee, but with everlasting kindness have I had mercy on thee, said the Lord thy Redeemer.<\/span> <\/p>\n 9<\/sup>This thing is to me as in the days of Noe, to whom I swore, that I would no more bring in the waters of Noe upon the earth: so have I sworn not to be angry with thee, and not to rebuke thee.<\/span> <\/p>\n 10<\/sup>For the mountains shall be moved, and the hills shall tremble; but my mercy shall not depart from thee, and the covenant of my peace shall not be moved: said the Lord that hath mercy on thee.<\/span> <\/p>\n 11<\/sup>O poor little one, tossed with tempest, without all comfort, behold I will lay thy stones in order, and will lay thy foundations with sapphires,<\/span> <\/p>\n 12<\/sup>And I will make thy bulwarks of jasper: and thy gates of graven stones, and all thy borders of desirable stones.<\/span> <\/p>\n 13<\/sup>All thy children shall be taught of the Lord: and great shall be the peace of thy children.<\/span> <\/p>\n 14<\/sup>And thou shalt be founded in justice: depart far from oppression, for thou shalt not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near thee.<\/span> <\/p>\n 15<\/sup>Behold, an inhabitant shall come, who was not with me, he that was a stranger to thee before, shall be joined to thee.<\/span> <\/p>\n 16<\/sup>Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and bringeth forth an instrument for his work, and I have created the killer to destroy.<\/span> <\/p>\n 17<\/sup>No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper: and every tongue that resisteth thee in judgment, thou shalt condemn. This is the inheritance of the servants of the Lord, and their justice with me, saith the Lord.<\/span> <\/p>\n
