Isaiah 54:5-8
New King James Version
5 (A)For your Maker is your husband,
The Lord of hosts is His name;
And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel;
He is called (B)the God of the whole earth.
6 For the Lord (C)has called you
Like a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit,
Like a youthful wife when you were refused,”
Says your God.
7 “For(D) a mere moment I have forsaken you,
But with great mercies (E)I will gather you.
8 With a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment;
(F)But with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you,”
Says the Lord, your Redeemer.

the Lord Almighty is his name—
the Holy One(C) of Israel is your Redeemer;(D)
he is called the God of all the earth.(E)
6 The Lord will call you back(F)
as if you were a wife deserted(G) and distressed in spirit—
a wife who married young,(H)
only to be rejected,” says your God.
7 “For a brief moment(I) I abandoned(J) you,
but with deep compassion(K) I will bring you back.(L)
8 In a surge of anger(M)
I hid(N) my face from you for a moment,
but with everlasting kindness(O)
I will have compassion(P) on you,”
says the Lord your Redeemer.(Q)

In a land not sown.

And she goes from him
And becomes another man’s,
