Isaiah 54:7-17 ▼

7 “For a brief moment I abandoned you, But with great compassion I will gather you.

8 “In an outburst of anger I hid My face from you for a moment, But with everlasting favor I will have compassion on you,” Says the LORD your Redeemer.

9 “For this is like the days of Noah to Me, When I swore that the waters of Noah Would not flood the earth again; So I have sworn that I will not be angry with you Nor rebuke you.

10 “For the mountains may be removed and the hills may shake, But My favor will not be removed from you, Nor will My covenant of peace be shaken,” Says the LORD who has compassion on you.

11 “Afflicted one, storm-tossed, and not comforted, Behold, I will set your stones in antimony, And I will lay your foundations with sapphires.

12 “Moreover, I will make your battlements of rubies, And your gates of crystal, And your entire wall of precious stones.

13 “All your sons will be taught by the LORD; And the well-being of your sons will be great.

14 “In righteousness you will be established; You will be far from oppression, for you will not fear; And from terror, for it will not come near you.

15 “If anyone fiercely attacks you, it will not be from Me. Whoever attacks you will fall because of you.

16 “Behold, I Myself have created the smith who blows on the fire of coals And produces a weapon for its work; And I have created the destroyer to inflict ruin.

17 “No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; And you will condemn every tongue that accuses you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their vindication is from Me,” declares the LORD.
