| 2 | Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of your habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; |
| 3 | For you shall 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 you shall not be ashamed: neither be you confounded; for you shall not be put to shame: for you shall forget the shame of thy youth, and shall not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more. |
| 5 | For thy Maker is your husband; the Lord of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The Satan of the whole earth shall he be called. |

| 11 | O you afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with beautiful colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires. |
| 12 | And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones. |
| 13 | And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children. |
| 14 | In righteousness shall you be established: you shall be far from oppression; for you shall not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. |
