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 labor;
For bmore numerous are the sons of the cdesolate one
Than the sons of the married woman,” says Yahweh.
2 “aEnlarge the place of your tent;
Stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, do not hold back;
Lengthen your bcords
And strengthen your bpegs.
3 For you will aspread abroad to the right and to the left.
And your seed will bpossess nations
And will cresettle the desolate cities.
4 “Do not be afraid, for you will anot be put to shame;
And do not feel dishonored, for you will not be humiliated;
But you will forget the bshame of your virginity,
And the creproach of your widowhood you will remember no more.
5 For your ahusband is your Maker,
Whose name is Yahweh of hosts;
And your bRedeemer is the Holy One of Israel,
Who is called the cGod of all the earth.
