Isaiah 54:7–14

7 “For ha mere moment I have forsaken you,

But with great mercies iI will gather you.

8 With a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment;

jBut with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you,”

Says the Lord, your Redeemer.

9 “For this is like the waters of kNoah to Me;

For as I have sworn

That the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth,

So have I sworn

That I would not be angry with lyou, nor rebuke you.

10 For mthe mountains shall depart

And the hills be removed,

nBut My kindness shall not depart from you,

Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,”

Says the Lord, who has mercy on you.

11 “O you afflicted one,

Tossed with tempest, and not comforted,

Behold, I will lay your stones with ocolorful gems,

And lay your foundations with sapphires.

12 I will make your pinnacles of rubies,

Your gates of crystal,

And all your walls of precious stones.

13 All your children shall be ptaught by the Lord,

And qgreat shall be the peace of your children.

14 In righteousness you shall be established;

You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;

And from terror, for it shall not come near you.
