Isaiah 54:5-8
WEB · Bible Passage
Bible Text
[5] For your Maker is your husband; Yahweh of Hosts is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; the God of the whole earth shall he be called. [6] For Yahweh has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is cast off, says your God. [7] For a small moment have I forsaken you; but with great mercies will I gather you. [8] In overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment; but with everlasting loving kindness will I have mercy on you, says Yahweh your Redeemer.
