Isaiah

Isaiah 54:2–3

2“Enlarge the site of your tent,

stretch out the curtains of your dwellings,

do not hold back.

Lengthen your ropes

and drive your stakes in deep.b

3For you will spread out to the right and left;

your descendants will dispossess the nations

and inhabit the desolate cities.
