LENGTHEN THY CORDS AND STRENGTHEN THY STAKES

ISAIAH 54:1-4

SING, O BARREN, THOU THAT
DIDST NOT BEAR; BREAK FORTH INTO SINGING, AND CRY ALOUD,
THOU THAT DIDST NOT
TRAVAIL WITH CHILD:  

FOR MORE
ARE THE CHILDREN OF
THE DESOLATE THAN
THE CHILDREN OF THE MARRIED WIFE,
SAITH THE LORD.
ENLARGE THE PLACE OF
THY TENT, AND LET THEM STRETCH
FORTH THE CURTAINS OF THINE HABITATIONS: 

SPARE NOT,
LENGTHEN THY CORDS,
AND STRENGTHEN THY STAKES;
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.

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.

LOVE
