Shout in triumph, O barren one, Who hadst not borne, - Break forth into shouts of triumph - and trill thy voice, Who hadst not travailed in birth, For, more, are the children of the Desolate Than the children of Her who had the husband, Saith Yahweh. Enlarge the space of thy tent And the curtains of thy habitations, let them spread forth do not spare, - Lengthen thy cords, And thy tent-pins, make thou fast; For, on the right hand and on the left, shalt thou break forth, - And thy seed, shall of the nations, take possession, And forsaken cities, shall they cause to be inhabited.
