Isaiah 54:6-8

Good News Translation

⁶ Israel, you are like a young wife,
    deserted by her husband and deeply distressed.
But the Lord calls you back to him and says:
⁷ “For one brief moment I left you;
    with deep love I will take you back.
⁸ I turned away angry for only a moment,
    but I will show you my love forever.”
So says the Lord who saves you.
