Isaiah 54:7-9

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.
