Isaiah 54:9-10

Barren Zion Sings Under the LORD’s Everlasting Covenant of Peace

From barren Zion commanded to sing, to enlarged tents and fearless expansion, to the LORD as Husband and Redeemer removing shame, to everlasting compassion and covenant peace, to a jeweled restored city, to children taught by the LORD, to final security against violence, weapons, and accusation.

9 “For to Me this is like the days of Noah, when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth. So I have sworn that I will not be angry with you or rebuke you.

10 Though the mountains may be removed and the hills may be shaken, My loving devotion will not depart from you, and My covenant of peace will not be broken,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you.
