Isaiah
Isaiah 54:5–7
5For your husband is your Maker —
the LORD of Hosts is His name—
the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer;
He is called the God of all the earth.
6For the LORD has called you back,
like a wife deserted and wounded in spirit,
like the rejected wife of one’s youth,”
says your God.
7“For a brief moment I forsook you,
but with great compassion I will bring you back.
