Isaiah 54:9-10
New English Translation
9 “As far as I am concerned, this is like in Noah’s time,[a]
when I vowed that the waters of Noah’s flood[b] would never again cover the earth.
In the same way I have vowed that I will not be angry at you or shout at you.
10 Even if the mountains are removed
and the hills displaced,
my devotion will not be removed from you,
nor will my covenant of friendship[c] be displaced,”
says the Lord, the one who has compassion on you.

- Isaiah 54:9 tc The Hebrew text reads literally, “For [or “indeed”] the waters of Noah [is] this to me.” כִּי־מֵי (ki-me, “for the waters of”) should be emended to כִּימֵי (kime, “like the days of”), which is supported by the Qumran scroll 1QIsaa and all the ancient versions except LXX.
- Isaiah 54:9 tn Heb “the waters of Noah” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV).
- Isaiah 54:10 tn Heb “peace” (so many English versions); NLT “of blessing.”

Lexham English Bible
9 “For this is like the waters of Noah to me,
when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again pass[a] over the earth,
so I swore that I would not be[b] angry at you and rebuke you.
10 For the mountains may depart,
and the hills may sway,
but[c] my faithfulness shall not depart from you,
and my covenant of peace shall not sway,”
says Yahweh, who has compassion on you,
