MLV(i)
3 For you will spread abroad on the right hand and on the left. And your seed will possess the nations and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
4 Do not fear, for you will not be ashamed. Neither be confounded, for you will not be put to shame. For you will forget the shame of your youth. And the reproach of your widowhood you will remember no more.
5 For your maker is your husband. Jehovah of hosts is his name. And the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer. He will be called the God of the whole earth. 6 For Jehovah has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth when she is cast off, says your God.
7 For a small moment I have forsaken you, but with great mercies I will gather you. 8 In overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment, but with everlasting loving kindness I will have mercy on you, says Jehovah your Redeemer.
9 For this is as the waters of Noah to me. For as I have sworn that the waters of Noah will no more go over the earth, so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor rebuke you. 10 For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my loving kindness will not depart from you, nor will my covenant of peace be shaken, says Jehovah who has mercy on you.
11 O you afflicted, tossed with tempest and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in fair colors and lay your foundations with sapphires.
