Isaiah 54:7-10

→Bible→Old Testament→Isaiah
KJV

⁷ For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. ⁸ In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer. ⁹ For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: 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 wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee. ¹⁰ For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.

Literal Reading

Verse 9 is cited here as "accepting" events of early Genesis "as literally true" — in this case, the waters of the Flood; the same approach is not employed to insist that mountains will be removed. See comment here. —BP
