“^(A)Shout for joy, O barren one, you who have borne no child;
Break forth into joyful shouting and cry aloud, you who have not travailed;
For the sons of the ^(B)desolate one will be ^(C)more numerous
Than the sons of the married woman,” says the Lord.

^(a)Stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, spare not;
Lengthen your ^(E)cords
And strengthen your ^(F)pegs.

“For you will ^(G)spread abroad to the right and to the left.
And your ^(b)descendants will ^(H)possess nations
And will ^(I)resettle the desolate cities.
