Isaiah 54:7-9

The Passion Translation

⁷ “For just a brief moment I deserted you,
    but with tender feelings of love
    I will gather you back to me.
⁸ In a surge of anger, for just the briefest moment,
    I hid my face from you,
    but with everlasting kindness,
    I will show you my cherishing love,”
    says Yahweh, your Kinsman-Redeemer.
⁹ “To me, this is like the time when I vowed
    that the waters of Noah’s flood
    would never again cover the earth.
    Now I vow to you that I will neither be angry with you
    nor rebuke you.
