Jerusalem Will Have Many Children

54 

You barren woman who never gave birth, shout for joy.
Burst forth with shouts of joy!
Cry aloud, you who have never been in labor,
because the deserted woman has more children
    than the woman who is married, says the Lord.
Make more room for your tent.
Tell them to stretch out the curtains of your dwelling.
Do not hold back!
Make your tent ropes longer.
Make your tent stakes stronger,
because you will spread out to the right and to the left.
Your offspring will take possession of nations,
and they will repopulate devastated cities.
