(A)Enlarge the place of your tent;
[a]Stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, spare not;
Lengthen your (B)cords
And strengthen your (C)pegs.
“For you will (D)spread abroad to the right and to the left.
And your [b]descendants will (E)possess nations
And will (F)resettle the desolate cities.

“Fear not, for you will (G)not be put to shame;
And do not feel humiliated, for you will not be disgraced;
But you will forget the (H)shame of your youth,
And the (I)reproach of your widowhood you will remember no more.
