Isaiah 54:9

Isaiah 54:9

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.

11 “O you afflicted one,
Tossed with tempest, and not comforted,
Behold, I will lay your stones with ^acolorful gems,
And lay your foundations with sapphires.

12 I will make your pinnacles of rubies,
Your gates of crystal,
And all your walls of precious stones.

<< Isaiah 54:8

Isaiah 54:10 >>

I am about to do the same in this instance as in Noah's flood. As I swore then that it should not return (Genesis 8:21; Genesis 9:11), and I kept that promise, so I swear now to My people, and will perform My promise, that there shall be no return of the deluge of My wrath upon them. LOWTH, on insufficient authority, reads (the same will I do now as), "in the days of Noah."
