Isaiah 54:4

Context

54:4 Don’t be afraid, for you will not be put to shame!

Don’t be intimidated, 1  for you will not be humiliated!

You will forget about the shame you experienced in your youth;

you will no longer remember the disgrace of your abandonment. 2 

1 tn Or “embarrassed”; NASB “humiliated…disgraced.”

2 tn Another option is to translate, “the disgrace of our widowhood” (so NRSV). However, the following context (vv. 6-7) refers to Zion’s husband, the Lord, abandoning her, not dying. This suggests that an אַלְמָנָה (’almanah) was a woman who had lost her husband, whether by death or abandonment.
