New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Isaiah 54:6-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 The Lord calls you back,
like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit,
A wife married in youth and then cast off,
says your God.(A)
7 For a brief moment I abandoned you,
but with great tenderness I will take you back.
8 In an outburst of wrath, for a moment
I hid my face from you;
But with enduring love I take pity on you,
says the Lord, your redeemer.
9 This is for me like the days of Noah:
As I swore then that the waters of Noah
should never again flood the earth,
So I have sworn now not to be angry with you,
or to rebuke you.(B)
10 Though the mountains fall away
and the hills be shaken,
My love shall never fall away from you
nor my covenant of peace[a] be shaken,
says the Lord, who has mercy on you.(C)

Cf. also 55:3; Nm 25:12; Ez 34:25; 37:26; Mal 2:5.
