Isaiah 54:6–8

For the Lord has called you

like a wife deserted and grieved in spirit,

like a wife of youth when she is cast off,

says your God.

For a brief moment I deserted you,

but with great compassion I will gather you.

In overflowing anger for a moment

I hid my face from you,

but with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,”

says the Lord, your Redeemer.

The Lord will call you back

as if you were a wife deserted and distressed in spirit—

a wife who married young,

only to be rejected,” says your God.

“For a brief moment I abandoned you,

but with deep compassion I will bring you back.

In a surge of anger

I hid my face from you for a moment,

but with everlasting kindness

I will have compassion on you,”

says the Lord your Redeemer.

For the Lord has called you back from your grief—

as though you were a young wife abandoned by her husband,”

says your God.

“For a brief moment I abandoned you,

but with great compassion I will take you back.

In a burst of anger I turned my face away for a little while.

But with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,”

says the Lord, your Redeemer.

For Yahweh has called you like a wife forsaken and hurt of spirit,

like the wife of childhood when she is rejected, says your God.

I abandoned you for a short moment,

but I will gather you with great compassion.

I hid my face from you for a moment, in the flowing of anger,

but I will have compassion on you with everlasting faithfulness” says your redeemer, Yahweh.

For the Lord hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit,

And a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.

For a small moment have I forsaken thee;

But with great mercies will I gather thee.

In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment;

But with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee,

Saith the Lord thy Redeemer.
