of your widowhood shall you remember no more.
054:005 For your Maker is your husband; Yahweh of Armies is his name:
and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; the God of the whole
earth shall he be called.
054:006 For Yahweh has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved
in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is cast off,
says your God.
054:007 For a small moment have I forsaken you; but with great mercies
will I gather you.
054:008 In overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment;
but with everlasting loving kindness will I have mercy on you,
says Yahweh your Redeemer.
054:009 For this is [as] the waters of Noah to me; for as I have sworn
that the waters of Noah shall no more go over the earth,
so have I sworn that I will not be angry with you,
nor rebuke you.
054:010 For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed;
but my loving kindness shall not depart from you,
neither shall my covenant of peace be removed, says Yahweh
who has mercy on you.
054:011 You afflicted, tossed with storms, and not comforted, behold,
I will set your stones in beautiful colors, and lay your
foundations with sapphires.
054:012 I will make your pinnacles of rubies, and your gates of
sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones.
054:013 All your children shall be taught of Yahweh; and great shall
be the peace of your children.
054:014 In righteousness shall you be established: you shall be far
from oppression, for you shall not be afraid; and from terror,
for it shall not come near you.
054:015 Behold, they may gather together, but not by me: whoever shall
gather together against you shall fall because of you.
054:016 Behold, I have created the smith who blows the fire of coals,
and brings forth a weapon for his work; and I have created
the waster to destroy.
054:017 No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every
tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of Yahweh, and their
righteousness which is of me, says Yahweh.
055:001 Ho, everyone who thirsts, come you to the waters, and he who has
no money; come you, buy, and eat; yes, come, buy wine and milk
without money and without price.
055:002 Why do you spend money for that which is not bread? and your
labor for that which doesn't satisfy? listen diligently to me,
and eat you that which is good, and let your soul delight
itself in fatness.
055:003 Turn your ear, and come to me; hear, and your soul shall live:
and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure
mercies of David.
055:004 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the peoples,
a leader and commander to the peoples.
