Read Isaiah 54:4 in the NABRE onlineFear not, for thou shalt not be confounded, nor blush: for thou shalt not be put to shame. Thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt remember no more the reproach of thy widowhood.
Reflection
Do not fear, for you will not be ashamed. The verse speaks to the shame of youth and the reproach of widowhood — the kind of shame that follows you from old wounds. God's promise is that it will not define your future.
