Isaiah 54:7-10

7 ^aFor a brief moment I deserted you,
but with great compassion I will gather you.
8 ^bIn overflowing anger for a moment
I hid my face from you,
^cbut with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,”
says the Lord, your Redeemer.
9 “This is like ^dthe days of Noah ^{▼▼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.
10 For the mountains may depart
and the hills be removed,
but my steadfast love shall not depart from you,
and ^fmy covenant of peace shall not be removed,”
says the Lord, who has compassion on you.
