3 for thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left, and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
4 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.
5 For thy Maker shall be thine husband; the Lord of the hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
6 For as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit has the Lord called thee, and as a young woman who is put away, said thy God.
7 For a small moment I have forsaken thee; but with great mercies I will gather thee.
8 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with eternal mercy I will have compassion on thee, said the Lord thy Redeemer.
9 For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so I have sworn that I would not be wroth again with thee, nor reprehend thee.
