1 "Sing, barren, you who didn’t give birth;
2 "Enlarge the place of your tent,
3 For you will spread out on the right hand and on the left;
4 "Don’t be afraid, for you will not be ashamed.
5 For your Maker is your husband; the LORD of Hosts is his name.
6 For the LORD has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit,
7 "For a small moment I have forsaken you,
8 In overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment,
9 "For this is like the waters of Noah to me;
10 For the mountains may depart,
11 "You afflicted, tossed with storms, and not comforted,
12 I will make your pinnacles of rubies,
13 All your children will be taught by the LORD;
14 You will be established in righteousness.
15 Behold, they may gather together, but not by me.
16 "Behold, I have created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame,
17 No weapon that is formed against you will prevail;
