Isaiah 54:1

Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord.
1

Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord.

2

Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;

3

For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Jerusalem as Mother

The verse addresses a "barren" and "desolate" entity that did not bear children, and while it speaks of children, it does not explicitly name or directly refer to Jerusalem as this mother figure, leaving open the possibility that the "barren" one is a more general metaphor for a community or individual.
