1“Sing, barren, you who didn’t give birth!
2“Enlarge the place of your tent,
3For you will spread out on the right hand and on the left;
4“Don’t be afraid, for you will not be ashamed.
5For your Maker is your husband; the LORD of Hosts is his name.
6For the LORD has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit,
7“For a small moment I have forsaken you,
8In overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment,
9“For this is like the waters of Noah to me;
10For the mountains may depart,
11“You afflicted, tossed with storms, and not comforted,
12I will make your pinnacles of rubies,
13All your children will be taught by the LORD,
14You will be established in righteousness.
15Behold, they may gather together, but not by me.
16“Behold, I have created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame,
17No weapon that is formed against you will prevail;
