1 Blessings through the servant
1 Gal. 4:27Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; 1 Break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: 1 For 1 Sam. 2:5more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord.
2 ch. 49:19,20Enlarge the place of thy tent, 2 And let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: 2 Spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;
3 For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; 3 ch. 55:5And thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, 3 And make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
4 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: 4 Neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: 4 For thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, 4 And shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.
5 Jer. 3:14For thy Maker is thine husband; 5 The Luke 1:32Lord of hosts is his name; 5 And thy redeemer the Holy One of Israel; 5 Zech. 14:9;Rom. 3:29The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
6 For the Lord ch. 62:4hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, 6 And a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.
7 Ps. 30:5;ch. 26:20;& 60:10;2 Cor. 4:17For a small moment have I forsaken thee; 7 But with great mercies will I gather thee.
8 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; 8 ch. 55:3;Jer. 31:3But with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, 8 Saith the Lord thy redeemer.
9 For this is as the waters of Gen. 8:21Noah unto me: 9 For as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; 9 So have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.
10 For Ps. 46:2;ch. 51:6;Mat. 5:18the mountains shall depart, 10 And the hills be removed; 10 Ps. 89:33But my kindness shall not depart from thee, 10 Neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, 10 Saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.
11 O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, 11 Behold, I will lay thy stones with 1 Chr. 29:2;Rev. 21:18fair colours, 11 And lay thy foundations with sapphires.
12 And I will make thy windows of agates, 12 And thy gates of carbuncles, 12 And all thy borders of pleasant stones.
13 And all thy children shall be ch. 11:9;Jer. 31:34;John 6:45;1 Cor. 2:10;1 Thes. 4:9;1 John 2:20taught of the Lord; 13 And Ps. 119:165great shall be the peace of thy children.
14 In righteousness shalt thou be established: 14 Thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: 14 And from terror; for it shall not come near thee.
15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: 15 Whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.
16 Behold, I have created the smith 16 That bloweth the coals in the fire, 16 And that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; 16 And I have created the waster to destroy.
17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; 17 And every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. 17 This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, 17 ch. 45:24,25And their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.
