The following is the standard Haftorah for this week's Torah reading. However, various calendar-based considerations occasionally cause different Haftorahs to be substituted for the standard ones.
Isaiah
Chapter 54
| 11. O poor tempestuous one, who was not consoled, behold I will set your stones with carbuncle, and I will lay your foundations with sapphires. |
| 12. And I will make your windows of jasper and your gates of carbuncle stones, and all your border of precious stones. |
| 13. And all your children shall be disciples of the Lord, and your children's peace shall increase. |
| 14. With righteousness shall you be established, go far away from oppression, for you shall not fear, and from ruin, for it will not come near you. |
| 15. Behold, the one with whom I am not, shall fear, whoever mobilizes against you shall defect to you. |
| 16. Behold I have created a smith, who blows on a charcoal fire and produces a weapon for his work, and I have created a destroyer to destroy [it]. |
| 17. Any weapon whetted against you shall not succeed, and any tongue that contends with you in judgment, you shall condemn; this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their due reward from Me, says the Lord. |
Chapter 55
| 1. Ho! All who thirst, go to water, and whoever has no money, go, buy and eat, and go, buy without money and without a price, wine and milk. |
| 2. Why should you weigh out money without bread and your toil without satiety? Hearken to Me and eat what is good, and your soul shall delight in fatness. |
| 3. Incline your ear and come to Me, hearken and your soul shall live, and I will make for you an everlasting covenant, the dependable mercies of David. |
| 4. Behold, a witness to nations have I appointed him, a ruler and a commander of nations. |
| 5. Behold, a nation you do not know you shall call, and a nation that did not know you shall run to you, for the sake of the Lord your God and for the Holy One of Israel, for He glorified you. |
