Isaiah 54:7-9
GOD’S WORD Translation
7 “I abandoned you for one brief moment,
but I will bring you back with unlimited compassion.
8 I hid my face from you for a moment in a burst of anger,
but I will have compassion on you with everlasting kindness,”
says the Lord your defender.
9 “To me this is like Noah’s floodwaters, when I swore an oath
that Noah’s floodwaters would never cover the earth again.
So now I swear an oath not to be angry with you or punish you.
Isaiah 54:7-9
English Standard Version
7 (A)For a brief moment I deserted you,
but with great compassion I will gather you.
8 (B)In overflowing anger for a moment
I hid my face from you,
(C)but with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,”
says the Lord, your Redeemer.
9 “This is like (D)the days of Noah[a] to me:
as I swore that the waters of Noah
should no more go over the earth,
so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you,
and will not rebuke you.
