Isaiah 54:1--55:13

54:1

Sing
<07442> (8798)_,

O barren
<06135>_,

thou [that] didst not bear
<03205> (8804)_;

break forth
<06476> (8798)

into singing
<07440>_,

and cry aloud
<06670> (8761)_,

thou [that] didst not travail with child
<02342> (8804)_:

for more
<07227>

[are] the children
<01121>

of the desolate
<08074> (8802)

than the children
<01121>

of the married wife
<01166> (8803)_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_.

54:2

Enlarge
<07337> (8685)

the place
<04725>

of thy tent
<0168>_,

and let them stretch forth
<05186> (8686)

the curtains
<03407>

of thine habitations
<04908>_:

spare
<02820> (8799)

not, lengthen
<0748> (8685)

thy cords
<04340>_,

and strengthen
<02388> (8761)

thy stakes
<03489>_;

54:3

For thou shalt break forth
<06555> (8799)

on the right hand
<03225>

and on the left
<08040>_;

and thy seed
<02233>

shall inherit
<03423> (8799)

the Gentiles
<01471>_,

and make the desolate
<08074> (8737)

cities
<05892>

to be inhabited
<03427> (8686)_.

54:4

Fear
<03372> (8799)

not; for thou shalt not be ashamed
<0954> (8799)_:

neither be thou confounded
<03637> (8735)_;

for thou shalt not be put to shame
<02659> (8686)_:

for thou shalt forget
<07911> (8799)

the shame
<01322>

of thy youth
<05934>_,

and shalt not remember
<02142> (8799)

the reproach
<02781>

of thy widowhood
<0491>

any more.

54:5

For thy Maker
<06213> (8802)

[is] thine husband
<01166> (8802)_;

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

[is] his name
<08034>_;

and thy Redeemer
<01350> (8802)

the Holy One
<06918>

of Israel
<03478>_;

The God
<0430>

of the whole earth
<0776>

shall he be called
<07121> (8735)_.

{Maker: Heb. Makers}

54:6

For the LORD
<03068>

hath called
<07121> (8804)

thee as a woman
<0802>

forsaken
<05800> (8803)

and grieved
<06087> (8803)

in spirit
<07307>_,

and a wife
<0802>

of youth
<05271>_,

when thou wast refused
<03988> (8735)_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

thy God
<0430>_.

54:7

For a small
<06996>

moment
<07281>

have I forsaken
<05800> (8804)

thee; but with great
<01419>

mercies
<07356>

will I gather
<06908> (8762)

thee.

54:8

In a little
<08241>

wrath
<07110>

I hid
<05641> (8689)

my face
<06440>

from thee for a moment
<07281>_;

but with everlasting
<05769>

kindness
<02617>

will I have mercy
<07355> (8765)

on thee, saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

thy Redeemer
<01350> (8802)_.

54:9

For this [is as] the waters
<04325>

of Noah
<05146>

unto me: for [as] I have sworn
<07650> (8738)

that the waters
<04325>

of Noah
<05146>

should no more go over
<05674> (8800)

the earth
<0776>_;

so have I sworn
<07650> (8738)

that I would not be wroth
<07107> (8800)

with thee, nor rebuke
<01605> (8800)

thee.

54:10

For the mountains
<02022>

shall depart
<04185> (8799)_,

and the hills
<01389>

be removed
<04131> (8799)_;

but my kindness
<02617>

shall not depart
<04185> (8799)

from thee, neither shall the covenant
<01285>

of my peace
<07965>

be removed
<04131> (8799)_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

that hath mercy
<07355> (8764)

on thee.

54:11

O thou afflicted
<06041>_,

tossed with tempest
<05590> (8802)_,

[and] not comforted
<05162> (8794)_,

behold, I will lay
<07257> (8688)

thy stones
<068>

with fair colours
<06320>_,

and lay thy foundations
<03245> (8804)

with sapphires
<05601>_.

54:12

And I will make
<07760> (8804)

thy windows
<08121>

of agates
<03539>_,

and thy gates
<08179>

of carbuncles
<068> <0688>_,

and all thy borders
<01366>

of pleasant
<02656>

stones
<068>_.

54:13

And all thy children
<01121>

[shall be] taught
<03928>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

and great
<07227>

[shall be] the peace
<07965>

of thy children
<01121>_.

54:14

In righteousness
<06666>

shalt thou be established
<03559> (8709)_:

thou shalt be far
<07368> (8798)

from oppression
<06233>_;

for thou shalt not fear
<03372> (8799)_:

and from terror
<04288>_;

for it shall not come near
<07126> (8799)

thee.

54:15

Behold, they shall surely
<01481> (8800)

gather together
<01481> (8799)_,

[but] not
<0657>

by me: whosoever
<04310>

shall gather together
<01481> (8804)

against thee shall fall
<05307> (8799)

for thy sake.

54:16

Behold, I have created
<01254> (8804)

the smith
<02796>

that bloweth
<05301> (8802)

the coals
<06352>

in the fire
<0784>_,

and that bringeth forth
<03318> (8688)

an instrument
<03627>

for his work
<04639>_;

and I have created
<01254> (8804)

the waster
<07843> (8688)

to destroy
<02254> (8763)_.

54:17

No weapon
<03627>

that is formed
<03335> (8714)

against thee shall prosper
<06743> (8799)_;

and every tongue
<03956>

[that] shall rise
<06965> (8799)

against thee in judgment
<04941>

thou shalt condemn
<07561> (8686)_.

This [is] the heritage
<05159>

of the servants
<05650>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and their righteousness
<06666>

[is] of me, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

55:1

Ho
<01945>_,

every one that thirsteth
<06771>_,

come
<03212> (8798)

ye to the waters
<04325>_,

and he that hath no money
<03701>_;

come
<03212> (8798)

ye, buy
<07666> (8798)_,

and eat
<0398> (8798)_;

yea, come
<03212> (8798)_,

buy
<07666> (8798)

wine
<03196>

and milk
<02461>

without money
<03701>

and without price
<04242>_.

55:2

Wherefore do ye spend
<08254> (8799)

money
<03701>

for [that which is] not bread
<03899>_?

and your labour
<03018>

for [that which] satisfieth
<07654>

not
<03808>_?

hearken
<08085> (8798)

diligently
<08085> (8800)

unto me, and eat
<0398> (8798)

ye [that which is] good
<02896>_,

and let your soul
<05315>

delight
<06026> (8691)

itself in fatness
<01880>_.

{spend: Heb. weigh}

55:3

Incline
<05186> (8685)

your ear
<0241>_,

and come
<03212> (8798)

unto me: hear
<08085> (8798)_,

and your soul
<05315>

shall live
<02421> (8799)_;

and I will make
<03772> (8799)

an everlasting
<05769>

covenant
<01285>

with you, [even] the sure
<0539> (8737)

mercies
<02617>

of David
<01732>_.

55:4

Behold, I have given
<05414> (8804)

him [for] a witness
<05707>

to the people
<03816>_,

a leader
<05057>

and commander
<06680> (8764)

to the people
<03816>_.

55:5

Behold, thou shalt call
<07121> (8799)

a nation
<01471>

[that] thou knowest
<03045> (8799)

not, and nations
<01471>

[that] knew
<03045> (8804)

not thee shall run
<07323> (8799)

unto thee because of the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

and for the Holy One
<06918>

of Israel
<03478>_;

for he hath glorified
<06286> (8765)

thee.

55:6

Seek
<01875> (8798)

ye the LORD
<03068>

while he may be found
<04672> (8736)_,

call
<07121> (8798)

ye upon him while he is near
<07138>_:

55:7

Let the wicked
<07563>

forsake
<05800> (8799)

his way
<01870>_,

and the unrighteous
<0205>

man
<0376>

his thoughts
<04284>_:

and let him return
<07725> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and he will have mercy
<07355> (8762)

upon him; and to our God
<0430>_,

for he will abundantly
<07235> (8686)

pardon
<05545> (8800)_.

{the unrighteous...: Heb. the man of iniquity} {abundantly...: Heb. multiply to pardon}

55:8

For my thoughts
<04284>

[are] not your thoughts
<04284>_,

neither [are] your ways
<01870>

my ways
<01870>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

55:9

For [as] the heavens
<08064>

are higher
<01361> (8804)

than the earth
<0776>_,

so are my ways
<01870>

higher
<01361> (8804)

than your ways
<01870>_,

and my thoughts
<04284>

than your thoughts
<04284>_.

55:10

For as the rain
<01653>

cometh down
<03381> (8799)_,

and the snow
<07950>

from heaven
<08064>_,

and returneth
<07725> (8799)

not thither, but watereth
<07301> (8689)

the earth
<0776>_,

and maketh it bring forth
<03205> (8689)

and bud
<06779> (8689)_,

that it may give
<05414> (8804)

seed
<02233>

to the sower
<02232> (8802)_,

and bread
<03899>

to the eater
<0398> (8802)_:

55:11

So shall my word
<01697>

be that goeth forth
<03318> (8799)

out of my mouth
<06310>_:

it shall not return
<07725> (8799)

unto me void
<07387>_,

but it shall accomplish
<06213> (8804)

that which I please
<02654> (8804)_,

and it shall prosper
<06743> (8689)

[in the thing] whereto I sent
<07971> (8804)

it.

55:12

For ye shall go out
<03318> (8799)

with joy
<08057>_,

and be led forth
<02986> (8714)

with peace
<07965>_:

the mountains
<02022>

and the hills
<01389>

shall break forth
<06476> (8799)

before
<06440>

you into singing
<07440>_,

and all the trees
<06086>

of the field
<07704>

shall clap
<04222> (8799)

[their] hands
<03709>_.

55:13

Instead of the thorn
<05285>

shall come up
<05927> (8799)

the fir tree
<01265>_,

and instead of the brier
<05636>

shall come up
<05927> (8799)

the myrtle tree
<01918>_:

and it shall be to the LORD
<03068>

for a name
<08034>_,

for an everlasting
<05769>

sign
<0226>

[that] shall not be cut off
<03772> (8735)_.
