Isaiah 54:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷ ‘For a short time I went away from you.
But now I will bring you back to myself,
    because I feel very sorry for you.
⁸ For a moment I became very angry with you,
    and I turned away from you.
But now I will be kind to you,
    because my love for you continues for ever.’
That is what the Lord, your Redeemer, says.
⁹ ‘This is like what I did in Noah's time.^[a]
At that time, I promised that a flood of water would never again destroy the earth.
Now, at this time, I have promised that I will not be angry with you again.
    I will not speak against you again.
