The Eternal Covenant of Peace

1 ^a“Sing, O barren one, who did not bear;
break forth into singing and cry aloud,
you who have not been in labor!
For the children of ^bthe desolate one ^cwill be more
than the children of her who is married,” says the Lord.

Jeremiah 15:9

9 ^dShe who bore seven has grown feeble;
^eshe has fainted away;
^fher sun went down while it was yet day;
she has been shamed and disgraced.
And the rest of them I will give to the sword
before their enemies,

declares the Lord.”

Galatians 4:27

27 For it is written,

^g“Rejoice, O barren one who does not bear;

For the children of the desolate one will be more
