4  “Fear not, for ^syou will not be ashamed;

be not confounded, for you will not be disgraced;

for you will forget the shame of your youth,

and the reproach of your widowhood you will remember no more.

5  For your Maker is your husband,

the Lord of hosts is his name;

and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer,

the God ^tof the whole earth he is called.

6  For the Lord has called you

like a wife ^udeserted and grieved in spirit,

like a wife of youth when she is cast off,

says your God.

7  For a brief moment I deserted you,

but with great compassion I will gather you.

8  ^vIn overflowing anger for a moment

I ^whid my face from you,

but with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,”

says the Lord, your Redeemer.
