Isaiah 54:7 in context

Isaiah 54:4–10

4

“Don’t be afraid, for you will not be ashamed.

Don’t be confounded, for you will not be disappointed.

For you will forget the shame of your youth.

You will remember the reproach of your widowhood no more.

5

For your Maker is your husband; the LORD of Armies is his name.

The Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer.

He will be called the God of the whole earth.

6

For the LORD has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit,

even a wife of youth, when she is cast off,” says your God.

Selected verse

“For a small moment I have forsaken you,

but I will gather you with great mercies.

8

In overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment,

but with everlasting loving kindness I will have mercy on you,” says the LORD your Redeemer.

9

“For this is like the waters of Noah to me;

for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah will no more go over the earth,

so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.

10

For the mountains may depart,

and the hills be removed,

but my loving kindness will not depart from you,

and my covenant of peace will not be removed,”

says the LORD who has mercy on you.
