Isaiah 54:7-17 ▼

7 “For a small moment I have forsaken you, and with great compassion I will gather you;

8 in a flood of wrath I hid My face for a moment from you, and with kindness everlasting I will have compassion on you,” says YHWH your Redeemer.

9 “For to Me this is the days of Noah, as when I swore to keep from passing the waters of Noah again over the earth—so have I sworn from being be angry with you and from giving rebuke to you.

10 For the mountains may depart and the hills may be shaken, and My loving devotion will not depart from you, and the covenant of My peace will not be shaken off,” says YHWH, the One having compassion on you.

11 “O afflicted one, tossed with tempest, not comforted! Behold, I am spreading over your stones in antimony, and I lay your foundations with sapphires.

12 And I will make your pinnacles of rubies, and your gates of sparkling of stones, and all of your walls of precious stones.

13 And all your sons will be taught by YHWH, and great will be the peace of your sons.

14 In righteousness you will be established. You will be far away from oppression—for you will not fear, and from terror—for it will not come near to you.

15 Behold, the stranger who stirs up trouble—not from Me—who stirs up trouble against you, he will fall before you.

16 Behold, I myself have created the craftsman, blowing on the fire of the coals and bringing out the tool for his work—and also I have created the destroyer to destroy.

17 Every weapon formed against you will not prosper, and every tongue that rises against you in judgment, you will prove wiched. This is the inheritance of the servants of YHWH, and their righteousness is from Me!—” A declaration of YHWH.
