Isaiah 54:7-9
New King James Version
7 “For(A) a mere moment I have forsaken you,
But with great mercies (B)I will gather you.
8 With a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment;
(C)But with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you,”
Says the Lord, your Redeemer.
9 “For this is like the waters of (D)Noah to Me;
For as I have sworn
That the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth,
So have I sworn
That I would not be angry with (E)you, nor rebuke you.
Isaiah 57:16

16 (A)For I will not contend forever,
Nor will I always be angry;
For the spirit would fail before Me,
And the souls (B)which I have made.
Psalm 30:5
New King James Version
5 For (A)His anger is but for a moment,
(B)His favor is for life;
Weeping may endure for a night,
But [a]joy comes in the morning.

Psalm 89:30-37
New King James Version
30 “If(A) his sons (B)forsake My law
And do not walk in My judgments,
31 If they [a]break My statutes
And do not keep My commandments,
32 Then I will punish their transgression with the rod,
And their iniquity with stripes.
33 (C)Nevertheless My lovingkindness I will not [b]utterly take from him,
Nor [c]allow My faithfulness to fail.
34 My covenant I will not break,
Nor (D)alter the word that has gone out of My lips.
35 Once I have sworn (E)by My holiness;
I will not lie to David:
36 (F)His seed shall endure forever,
And his throne (G)as the sun before Me;
37 It shall be established forever like the moon,
Even like the faithful witness in the sky.” Selah
