For a moment in mine anger, I hid my face from thee for a little season, but with everlasting mercy have I had compassion on thee, saith the Lord thy redeemer.

For this is unto me as the [a]waters of Noah; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I would not be angry with thee, nor rebuke thee.

10 For the mountains shall remove, and the hills shall fall down; but my mercy shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace fall away, saith the Lord, that hath compassion on thee.

Footnotes

  1. Isaiah 54:9 As sure as the promise that I made to Noah, that the waters should no more overflow the earth.

In a surge of anger(A)
    I hid(B) my face from you for a moment,
but with everlasting kindness(C)
    I will have compassion(D) on you,”
    says the Lord your Redeemer.(E)

“To me this is like the days of Noah,
    when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth.(F)
So now I have sworn(G) not to be angry(H) with you,
    never to rebuke(I) you again.
10 Though the mountains be shaken(J)
    and the hills be removed,
yet my unfailing love(K) for you will not be shaken(L)
    nor my covenant(M) of peace(N) be removed,”
    says the Lord, who has compassion(O) on you.
