Isaiah 54:4-10
New American Standard Bible
4 “Fear not, for you will (A)not be put to shame;
And do not feel humiliated, for you will not be disgraced;
But you will forget the (B)shame of your youth,
And no longer remember the (C)disgrace of your widowhood.
5 For your (D)husband is your Maker,
Whose name is the Lord of armies;
And your (E)Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel,
Who is called the (F)God of all the earth.
6 For the Lord has called you,
Like a wife (G)forsaken and grieved in spirit,
Even like a wife of one’s youth when she is rejected,”
Says your God.
7 “[a]For a (H)brief moment I abandoned you,
But with great compassion I will (I)gather you.
8 In an [b](J)outburst of anger
I hid My face from you for a moment,
But with everlasting (K)favor I will (L)have compassion on you,”
Says the Lord your (M)Redeemer.
9 “For [c]this is like the days of Noah to Me,
When I swore that the waters of Noah
Would (N)not [d]flood the earth again;
So I have sworn that I will (O)not be angry with you
Nor rebuke you.
10 For the (P)mountains may be removed and the hills may shake,
But My [e]favor will not be removed from you,
Nor will My (Q)covenant of peace be shaken,”
Says (R)the Lord who has compassion on you.
