Isaiah 54:1

« Isaiah 53Isaiah 54Isaiah 55 »

The Inheritance of the Slaves of Yahweh

“^aShout for joy, O barren woman, who has not given birth;

Break forth into joyful shouting and cry aloud, you who have not been in ¹labor;

For ^bmore numerous are the sons of the ^cdesolate one

Than the sons of the married woman,” says Yahweh.

Isaiah 49:21

« Isaiah 48Isaiah 49Isaiah 50 »

Then you will ^asay in your heart,

‘Who has borne these for me?

Indeed, I have been bereaved of my children

And am ^bbarren, an ^cexile and a wanderer.

And who has reared these?

Behold, I ^dremained alone;

¹^eFrom where did these come?’”

Jeremiah 3:24

« Jer 2Jer 3Jer 4 »

24 “But ^athe shameful thing has devoured the labor of our fathers since our youth, their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.

Jeremiah 3:25

« Jer 2Jer 3Jer 4 »

25 Let us lie down in our ^ashame, and let our dishonor cover us; for we have sinned against Yahweh our God, we and our fathers, ^bfrom our youth even to this day. And we have not listened to the voice of Yahweh our God.”

Jeremiah 31:19

« Jer 30Jer 31Jer 32 »

For after I turned away, I ^arepented;

And after I was instructed, I ^bslapped my thigh;

I was ^cashamed and also dishonored

Because I bore the reproach of my youth.’

Hosea 2:2-5

« Hosea 1Hosea 2Hosea 3 »

“Contend with your mother, ^acontend,

For she is ^bnot my wife, and I am not her husband;

And let her remove her ^charlotry from her face

And her adultery from between her breasts,

Lest I strip her ^anaked

And set her forth as on the ^bday when she was born

And ^cmake her like a wilderness

And ¹make her like dry land

And put her to death with ^dthirst.

Also, I will have no compassion on her children

Because they are ^achildren of harlotry.

For their mother has ^aplayed the harlot;

She who conceived them has acted shamefully.

For she said, ‘^aI will go after my lovers,

Who ^bgive me my bread and my water,

My wool and my flax, my ^coil and my drink.’
