Isaiah

Isaiah 54:6–8

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.

⁸In a surge of anger

I hid My face from you for a moment,

but with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you,”

says the LORD your Redeemer.
