Make your tent bigger.
    Stretch it out and make it wider.
    Do not hold back.
Make the ropes longer.
    Make its stakes stronger.
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.

“Don’t be afraid because you will not be ashamed.

You will forget the shame you felt earlier.
    You will not remember the shame you felt when you lost your husband.
