Isaiah 54:9-14
English Standard Version
9 “This is like (A)the days of Noah[a] to me:
as I swore that the waters of Noah
should no more go over the earth,
so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you,
and will not rebuke you.
10 For the mountains may depart
and the hills be removed,
but my steadfast love shall not depart from you,
and (B)my covenant of peace shall not be removed,”
says the Lord, who has compassion on you.
11 (C)“O afflicted one, storm-tossed and not comforted,
behold, (D)I will set your stones in antimony,
(E)and lay your foundations with sapphires.[b]
12 I will make your pinnacles of agate,[c]
your gates of carbuncles,[d]
and all your wall of precious stones.
13 (F)All your children (G)shall be taught by the Lord,
(H)and great 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.
