Isaiah 54:7-17
Legacy Standard Bible
7 “[a]For a (A)brief moment I forsook you,
But with great compassion I will (B)gather you.
8 In [b]a (C)flood of fury
I hid My face from you for a moment,
But with everlasting (D)lovingkindness I will (E)have compassion on you,”
Says Yahweh your (F)Redeemer.
9 “For [c]this is like the days of Noah to Me,
When I swore that the waters of Noah
Would (G)not [d]overflow the earth again;
So I have sworn that I will (H)not be furious with you
Nor will I rebuke you.
10 For the (I)mountains may be removed and the hills may shake,
But My lovingkindness will not be removed from you,
And My (J)covenant of peace will not be shaken,”
Says (K)Yahweh who has compassion on you.
11 “O (L)afflicted one, storm-tossed, and (M)not comforted,
Behold, I will lay your stones in antimony,
And your foundations I will (N)set in [e](O)sapphires.
12 Moreover, I will make your battlements of [f]rubies,
And your gates of [g]crystal,
And your entire [h]wall of [i]precious stones.
13 (P)All your sons will be [j]taught of Yahweh;
And the peace of your sons will be (Q)great.
14 In (R)righteousness you will be established;
You will be far from (S)oppression, for you will (T)not fear,
And from (U)terror, for it will not come near you.
15 If anyone fiercely attacks you it will not be from Me.
(V)Whoever attacks you will fall because of you.
16 Behold, I Myself have created the craftsman who blows the fire of coals
And brings out a weapon for its work;
And I have created the bringer of ruin to wreak destruction.
17 (W)No weapon that is formed against you will succeed;
And (X)every tongue that [k]accuses you in judgment you will condemn.
This is the inheritance of the [l]slaves of Yahweh,
And their (Y)righteousness is from Me,” declares Yahweh.
