8. In a little wrath—rather, "In the overflowing of wrath"; as Pr 27:4, Margin, [GESENIUS]. The wrath, though but "for a moment," was overflowing while it lasted.

     9. I am about to do the same in this instance as in Noah's flood. As I swore then that it should not return (Ge 8:21; 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."

     10. (Isa 51:6; Ps 89:33, 34; Ro 11:29).
