Isaiah 54:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 54:7

5 ^aFor your Maker is your husband,
The Lord of hosts is His name;
And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel;
He is called ^bthe God of the whole earth.

6 For the Lord ^ahas called you
Like a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit,
Like a youthful wife when you were refused,”
Says your God.

7 “For^a a mere moment I have forsaken you,
But with great mercies ^bI will gather you.

8 With a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment;
^aBut with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you,”
Says the Lord, your Redeemer.

9 “For this is like the waters of ^aNoah to Me;
For as I have sworn
That the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth,
So have I sworn
That I would not be angry with ^byou, nor rebuke you.

10 For ^athe mountains shall depart
And the hills be removed,
^bBut My kindness shall not depart from you,
Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,”
Says the Lord, who has mercy on you.
