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

⁴ Surely he took up our pain
    and bore our suffering,^(A)
yet we considered him punished by God,^(B)
    stricken by him, and afflicted.^(C)
5 But he was pierced^(D) for our transgressions,^(E)
    he was crushed^(F) for our iniquities;
the punishment^(G) that brought us peace^(H) was on him,
    and by his wounds^(I) we are healed.^(J)
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,^(K)
    each of us has turned to our own way;^(L)
and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity^(M) of us all.
