Isaiah 54:1-17

1 Sing, O barren, thou who did not bear. Break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou who did not travail with child. For more are the sons of the desolate than the sons of the married woman, says LORD. 2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thy habitations. Spare not. Lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes. 3 For thou shall spread abroad on the right hand and on the left. And thy seed shall possess the nations, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. 4 Fear not, for thou shall not be ashamed. Neither be thou confounded, for thou shall not be put to shame. For thou shall forget the shame of thy youth. And the reproach of thy widowhood thou shall remember no more. 5 For thy maker is thy husband. LORD of hosts is his name. And the Holy One of Israel is thy Redeemer. He shall be called the God of the whole earth. 6 For LORD has called thee as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth when she is cast off, says thy God. 7 For a small moment I have forsaken thee, but with great mercies I will gather thee. 8 In overflowing wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment, but with everlasting loving kindness I will have mercy on thee, says LORD thy Redeemer. 9 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 I have sworn that I will not be angry with thee, nor rebuke thee. 10 For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed, but my loving kindness shall not depart from thee, nor shall my covenant of peace be removed, says LORD who has mercy on thee. 11 O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will set thy stones in fair colors, and lay thy foundations with sapphires. 12 And I will make thy pinnacles of rubies, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy border of precious stones. 13 And all thy sons shall be taught of LORD, and great shall be the peace of thy sons. 14 Thou shall be established in righteousness. Thou shall be far from oppression, for thou shall not fear, and from terror, for it shall not come near thee. 15 Behold, they may gather together, but not by me. Whoever shall gather together against thee shall fall because of thee. 16 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. 17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper. And every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of LORD, and their righteousness which is of me, says LORD.

1 Samuel 1:1-28

1 Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim-zophim of the hill-country of Ephraim. And his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite. 2 And he had two wives: the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah. And Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children. 3 And this man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests to LORD, were there. 4 And when the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions, 5 but to Hannah he gave a double portion, for he loved Hannah, but LORD had shut up her womb. 6 And her rival provoked her greatly, to make her fret, because LORD had shut up her womb. 7 And as he did so year by year when she went up to the house of LORD, so she provoked her. Therefore she wept, and did not eat. 8 And Elkanah her husband said to her, Hannah, why do thou weep? And why do thou not eat? And why is thy heart grieved? Am not I better to thee than ten sons? 9 So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest was sitting upon his seat by the door-post of the temple of LORD. 10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to LORD, and wept much. 11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou will indeed look on the affliction of thy handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thy handmaid, but will give to thy handmaid a man-child, then I will give him to LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head. 12 And it came to pass, as she continued praying before LORD, that Eli noticed her mouth. 13 Now Hannah, she spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk. 14 And Eli said to her, How long will thou be drunken? Put away thy wine from thee. 15 And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I poured out my soul before LORD. 16 Count not thy handmaid for an iniquitous woman, for out of the abundance of my complaint and my provocation have I spoken until now. 17 Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant thy petition that thou have asked of him. 18 And she said, Let thy handmaid find favor in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and ate, and her countenance was no more sad. 19 And they rose up in the morning early, and worshiped before LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and LORD remembered her. 20 And it came to pass, when the time came about, that Hannah conceived, and bore a son. And she called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of LORD. 21 And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to LORD the yearly sacrifice, and his vow. 22 But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, Not until the child be weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before LORD, and abide there forever. 23 And Elkanah her husband said to her, Do what seems good to thee. Remain until thou have weaned him, only LORD establish his word. So the woman remained and gave her son suck, until she weaned him. 24 And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of meal, and a bottle of wine, and brought him to the house of LORD in Shiloh, and the child was young. 25 And they killed the bullock, and brought the child to Eli. 26 And she said, Oh, my lord, as thy soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by thee here, praying to LORD. 27 I prayed for this child, and LORD has given me my petition which I asked of him. 28 Therefore also I have granted him to LORD; as long as he lives he is granted to LORD. And he worshiped LORD there.
