3 For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your children will conquer nations and will resettle desolate cities.
4 Don’t be afraid, for you will not be put to shame! Don’t be intimidated, for you will not be humiliated! You will forget about the shame you experienced in your youth; you will no longer remember the disgrace of your abandonment.
5 For your husband is the one who made you– the LORD of Heaven’s Armies is his name. He is your protector, the Holy One of Israel. He is called“God of the entire earth.”
6 “Indeed, the LORD will call you back like a wife who has been abandoned and suffers from depression, like a young wife when she has been rejected,” says your God.
7 “For a short time I abandoned you, but with great compassion I will gather you.
