The Key Word — בּוֹשׁ, te.Vo.o.shigenerated
The verb בּוֹשׁ (buwsh) means 'to be ashamed' and encompasses feelings of guilt and disappointment. It is used to describe the emotional state of being disconcerted or embarrassed, highlighting the impact of shame on one's identity.
In this verse, God assures His people that they will not experience shame, emphasizing His role in their restoration. The usage of this verb in the future tense indicates a promise of deliverance from past feelings of disgrace.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse consists of multiple clauses, with the finite verbs תִּֽירְאִי (ti.re.'I) and תֵב֔וֹשִׁי (te.Vo.o.shi) leading the structure. Each clause addresses the fears and assurances given to the people.
The repeated use of negative particles such as אַל (al) and לֹא (lo') emphasizes God's promise that His people will not experience shame or humiliation, reinforcing the message of hope.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text (MT) of Isaiah 54:4 states, "אַל־ תִּֽירְאִי֙ כִּי־ לֹ֣א תֵב֔וֹשִׁי וְאַל־ תִּכָּלְמִ֖י כִּ֣י לֹ֣א תַחְפִּ֑ירִי..." The Septuagint (LXX) agrees with the MT in meaning, though it presents the text with different word order and articles. The Dead Sea Scrolls (1Qisaa, 4Q57, 4Q58) also align closely with the MT, with 1Qisaa providing a complete match in wording, while the other scrolls contain partially restored text but maintain the essential phrases. Overall, the MT, LXX, and the Dead Sea Scrolls show significant agreement in this verse, affirming the message of reassurance and the promise of forgetting past shame.
אַל־ תִּֽירְאִי֙ כִּי־ לֹ֣א תֵב֔וֹשִׁי וְאַל־ תִּכָּלְמִ֖י כִּ֣י לֹ֣א תַחְפִּ֑ירִי כִּ֣י בֹ֤שֶׁת עֲלוּמַ֙יִךְ֙ תִּשְׁכָּ֔חִי וְחֶרְפַּ֥ת אַלְמְנוּתַ֖יִךְ לֹ֥א תִזְכְּרִי־ עֽוֹד׃

Adv — AdvHAcmsa
a-gen': Advb. denoting repetition; in New Testament, generally for palin, "back," "once more." Occasionally, it has the force of a connective, synonymous with "moreover," as in Ro 15:10 ff; 1Co 3:20, etc. The expression "born again" of the King James Version, Joh 3:3,7; 1Pe 1:23, translating the Greek "anothen" and "ana" in composition, becomes in the Revised Version (British and American) "anew," i.e. "over again." As these particles mean "from above" and "up," their use as indicating repetition is sometimes disputed, but without further foundation than that "again" does not exhaust the meaning.
