Isaiah 54:10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from you… There is something very suggestive in that word "kindness." Kindness is originally that which is felt and shown to one's kind or kin. Kind is "kinned;" so that, according to the primitive signification of the word, kindness grows out of natural relationship. And this is really the basis of God's kindness. Men are His children: and the relation of parent and child implies kindness. (M. R. Vincent, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee. |
