1 “Sing, O childless woman, you who have never given birth! Break into loud and joyful song, O Jerusalem, you who have never been in labor. For the desolate woman now has more children than the woman who lives with her husband,” says the LORD .

2 “Enlarge your house; build an addition. Spread out your home, and spare no expense!

3 For you will soon be bursting at the seams. Your descendants will occupy other nations and resettle the ruined cities.

4 “Fear not; you will no longer live in shame. Don’t be afraid; there is no more disgrace for you. You will no longer remember the shame of your youth and the sorrows of widowhood.

14 You will be secure under a government that is just and fair. Your enemies will stay far away. You will live in peace, and terror will not come near.

15 If any nation comes to fight you, it is not because I sent them. Whoever attacks you will go down in defeat.

17 But in that coming day no weapon turned against you will succeed. You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the LORD ; their vindication will come from me. I, the LORD, have spoken!
