Chapter 54 of Isaiah—Revised Standard Version (RSV)

  1. ¶ “Sing, O barren one, who did not bear;
      break forth into singing and cry aloud,
      you who have not been in travail!
    For the children of the desolate one will be more
      than the children of her that is married, says the LORD.
  2. Enlarge the place of your tent,
      and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out;
    hold not back, lengthen your cords
      and strengthen your stakes.
  3. For you will spread abroad to the right and to the left,
      and your descendants will possess the nations
      and will people the desolate cities.
  4. ¶ “Fear not, for you will not be ashamed;
      be not confounded, for you will not be put to shame;
    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 of the whole earth he is called.
  6. For the LORD has called you
      like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit,
    like a wife of youth when she is cast off,
      says your God.
  7. For a brief moment I forsook you,
      but with great compassion I will gather you.
  8. In overflowing wrath for a moment
      I hid my face from you,
    but with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,
      says the LORD, your Redeemer.
  9. ¶ “For this is like the days of Noah to me:
      as I swore that the waters of Noah
      should no more go over the earth,
    so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you
      and will not rebuke you.
  10. For the mountains may depart
      and the hills be removed,
    but my steadfast love shall not depart from you,
      and my covenant of peace shall not be removed,
      says the LORD, who has compassion on you.
  11. ¶ “O afflicted one, storm-tossed, and not comforted,
      behold, I will set your stones in antimony,
      and lay your foundations with sapphires.[a]
  12. I will make your pinnacles of agate,
      your gates of carbuncles,
      and all your wall of precious stones.
  13. All your sons shall be taught by the LORD,
      and great shall be the prosperity of your sons.
  14. In righteousness you shall be established;
      you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;
      and from terror, for it shall not come near you.
  15. If any one stirs up strife,
      it is not from me;
    whoever stirs up strife with you
      shall fall because of you.
  16. Behold, I have created the smith
      who blows the fire of coals,
      and produces a weapon for its purpose.
    I have also created the ravager to destroy;
  17. no weapon that is fashioned against you shall prosper,
      and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgment.
    This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD
      and their vindication from me, says the LORD.”

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
