Isaiah 54:7-17 ▼

7 “In a small moment I have forsaken you, || And in great mercies I gather you,

8 In overflowing wrath I hid My face [for] a moment from you, || And in perpetual kindness I have loved you, || Said your Redeemer—YHWH!

9 For this [is as] the days of Noah to Me, || In that I have sworn that the waters of Noah || Do not pass over the earth again—So I have sworn, || Wrath is not on you, || Nor rebuke against you.

10 For the mountains depart, and the hills remove, || And My kindness does not depart from you, || And the covenant of My peace does not remove,” || Says YHWH, your loving one.

11 “O afflicted, storm-tossed, not comforted, || Behold, I am laying your stones with cement, || And have founded you with sapphires,

12 And have made your pinnacles of agate, || And your gates of carbuncle stones, || And all your border of stones of delight,

13 And all your sons are taught of YHWH, || And the peace of your sons [is] abundant.

14 You establish yourself in righteousness, || Be far from oppression, for you do not fear, || And from ruin, for it does not come near to you.

15 Behold, he diligently assembles without My desire, || Whoever has assembled near you falls by you!

16 Behold, I have created an artisan, || Blowing on a fire of coals, || And bringing out an instrument for his work, || And I have created a destroyer to destroy.

17 No weapon formed against you prospers, || And every tongue rising against you, || You condemn in judgment. This [is] the inheritance of the servants of YHWH, || And their righteousness from Me,” a declaration of YHWH!
