Isaiah 54:8-10
The Message
7-8 Your Redeemer God says:
“I left you, but only for a moment.
Now, with enormous compassion, I’m bringing you back.
In an outburst of anger I turned my back on you—
but only for a moment.
It’s with lasting love
that I’m tenderly caring for you.
9-10 “This exile is just like the days of Noah for me:
I promised then that the waters of Noah
would never again flood the earth.
I’m promising now no more anger,
no more dressing you down.
For even if the mountains walk away
and the hills fall to pieces,
My love won’t walk away from you,
my covenant commitment of peace won’t fall apart.”
The God who has compassion on you says so.
Isaiah 54:8-10
New International Version
8 In a surge of anger(A)
I hid(B) my face from you for a moment,
but with everlasting kindness(C)
I will have compassion(D) on you,”
says the Lord your Redeemer.(E)
9 “To me this is like the days of Noah,
when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth.(F)
So now I have sworn(G) not to be angry(H) with you,
never to rebuke(I) you again.
10 Though the mountains be shaken(J)
and the hills be removed,
yet my unfailing love(K) for you will not be shaken(L)
nor my covenant(M) of peace(N) be removed,”
says the Lord, who has compassion(O) on you.
