Isaiah 54:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ I made you. I am now your husband.
    My name is the Lord Who Rules Over All.
I am the Holy One of Israel.
    I have set you free.
    I am the God of the whole earth.
⁶ You were like a wife who was deserted.
    And her heart was broken.
You were like a wife who married young.
    And her husband sent her away.
    But now I am calling you to come back,” says your God.
⁷ “For a brief moment I left you.
    But because I love you so much, I will bring you back.
