Do not be afraid; you will not suffer shame. Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated. You will forget the shame of your youth, and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood. For your Maker is your husband – the Lord Almighty is his name – the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer, he is called the God of all the earth.

These verses are full of assurances: peace in our hearts, confidence in our salvation and rest in the God of the Universe, the Lord Almighty, Who is our Redeemer.
