Isaiah 54:4-17

New International Version

⁴“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)
⁵For 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)
⁶The 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.
⁷“For a brief moment^(O) I abandoned^(P) you,
    but with deep compassion^(Q) I will bring you back.^(R)
⁸In 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)

⁹“To me this is like the days of Noah,
    when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth.^(X)
So now I have sworn^(Y) not to be angry^(Z) with you,
    never to rebuke^(AA) you again.
¹⁰Though the mountains be shaken^(AB)
    and the hills be removed,
yet my unfailing love^(AC) for you will not be shaken^(AD)
    nor my covenant^(AE) of peace^(AF) be removed,”
    says the Lord, who has compassion^(AG) on you.

¹¹“Afflicted^(AH) city, lashed by storms^(AI) and not comforted,^(AJ)
    I will rebuild you with stones of turquoise,^[a]^(AK)
    your foundations^(AL) with lapis lazuli.^(AM)
¹²I will make your battlements of rubies,
    your gates^(AN) of sparkling jewels,
    and all your walls of precious stones.
¹³All your children will be taught by the Lord,^(AO)
    and great will be their peace.^(AP)
¹⁴In righteousness^(AQ) you will be established:^(AR)
Tyranny^(AS) will be far from you;
    you will have nothing to fear.^(AT)
Terror^(AU) will be far removed;
    it will not come near you.
¹⁵If anyone does attack you, it will not be my doing;
    whoever attacks you will surrender^(AV) to you.

¹⁶“See, it is I who created the blacksmith^(AW)
    who fans the coals into flame
    and forges a weapon^(AX) fit for its work.
And it is I who have created the destroyer^(AY) to wreak havoc;
¹⁷    no weapon forged against you will prevail,^(AZ)
    and you will refute^(BA) every tongue that accuses you.
This is the heritage of the servants^(BB) of the Lord,
    and this is their vindication^(BC) from me,”
declares the Lord.
