Isaiah 54:1-3

International Children’s Bible

54 The Lord says, “Sing, Jerusalem.
    You are like a woman who never gave birth to children.
Start singing and shout for joy.
    You never felt the pain of giving birth.
But you will have more children
    than the woman who has a husband.
² Make your tent bigger.
    Stretch it out and make it wider.
    Do not hold back.
Make the ropes longer.
    Make its stakes stronger.
³ Do this because you will begin growing very much.
    Your children will take over other nations.
    And they will again live in cities that once were destroyed.
