Isaiah 54:5–13

5  For nthy Maker is othine husband;

pThe Lord of hosts is his name;

And qthy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel;

rThe God of the whole earth shall he be called.

6  For the Lord hath called thee sas a woman ssforsaken and grieved in spirit,

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

7  uFor a small moment have I forsaken thee;

But vwith great mercies will I gather thee.

8  In a little wrath wI hid my face from thee ufor a moment;

But xwith everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee,

Saith the Lord qthy Redeemer.

9  For this is as the waters of Noah unto me:

For yas I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth;

zSo have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

10  zFor athe mountains shall depart,

And athe hills bbe removed;

But my kindness shall not depart from thee,

Neither shall cthe covenant of my peace be removed,

Saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.

11  dO thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted,

Behold, I will lay thy stones ewith fair colours,

And flay thy foundations with sapphires.

12  And I will make thy windows of gagates,

And thy gates of carbuncles,

And all thy borders of hpleasant stones.

13  iAnd all kthy children shall be ltaught of the Lord;

And mgreat shall be the peace of thy children.
