A Perpetual Covenant of Peace
1 “Sing , O barren , You who have not borne! Break forth into singing , and cry aloud , You who have not labored with child! For more are the children of the desolate Than the children of the married woman , ” says the Lord. 2 “Enlarge the place of your tent , And let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; Do not spare; Lengthen your cords , And strengthen your stakes. 3 For you shall expand to the right and to the left , And your descendants will inherit the nations , And make the desolate cities inhabited. 4 “Do not fear , for you will not be ashamed; Neither be disgraced , for you will not be put to shame; For you will forget the shame of your youth , And will not remember the reproach of your widowhood anymore. Isa54:1-4
10 And the Lord restored Job’s losses when He prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job twice as much as He had before. Job42:10
