3When the Lord has given you rest from your pain and turmoil and the hard service with which you were made to serve,Isaiah 44:24-26
24 Thus says the Lord, pyour Redeemer,qwho formed you from the womb:
r“I am the Lord, who made all things,
swho alone stretched out the heavens,
who spread out the earth by myself,
25who frustrates the signs of liars
and makes fools of diviners,
twho turns wise men back
and makes their knowledge foolish,
26 uwho confirms the word of his servant
and fulfills the counsel of his messengers,
who says of Jerusalem, ‘She shall be inhabited,’
vand of the cities of Judah, ‘They shall be built,
and I will raise up their ruins’;
Isaiah 54:7-17

8 xIn overflowing anger for a moment
I hid my face from you,
ybut with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,”
says the Lord, your Redeemer.

▼Some manuscripts For this is as the waters of Noah
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.
10For the mountains may depart
and the hills be removed,
but my steadfast love shall not depart from you,
and abmy covenant of peace shall not be removed,”
says the Lord, who has compassion on you.

13 aiAll your children ajshall be taught by the Lord,
akand great shall be the peace of your children.
14In righteousness you shall be established;
you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;
and from terror, for it shall not come near you.
15 alIf anyone stirs up strife,
it is not from me;
whoever stirs up strife with you
shall fall because of you.
16Behold, I have created the smith
who blows the fire of coals
and produces a weapon for its purpose.
I have also created the ravager to destroy;
17no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed,
and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord
