Isaiah 54:1-3

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.
2 ^d“Enlarge the place of your tent,
and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out;
do not hold back; lengthen your cords
and strengthen your stakes.
3 ^eFor you will spread abroad to the right and to the left,
and your offspring will possess the nations
and will people the desolate cities.
