Isaiah 54:9-17 - The Eternal Covenant of Peace
The Eternal Covenant of Peace
Isaiah 54:9-17
“This is like the days of Noah to me:
as I swore that the waters of Noah
should
no more go over the earth,
so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you,
and
will not rebuke you. (Says the Lord).
For
the mountains may depart
and
the hills be removed,
but my steadfast love shall not depart from you,
and my
covenant of peace shall not be removed,”
says
the Lord, who has compassion on you.
“O afflicted one, storm-tossed and not comforted,
behold, I will set your stones in antimony,and lay your foundations with sapphires.
I will make your pinnacles of agate,
your gates of carbuncles,
and all your wall of precious stones.
All
your children shall be taught by the Lord and
great shall be the peace of your
children.
In righteousness you shall be
established;
you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;
and from terror, for it shall not come near you.
If anyone stirs up strife,
it is not from me;
whoever stirs up strife with you
shall fall because of you.
Behold, I have created the smith
who blows the fire of coals
and produces a weapon for its purpose.
I have also created the ravager to destroy;
no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed,
and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you.
you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;
and from terror, for it shall not come near you.
If anyone stirs up strife,
it is not from me;
whoever stirs up strife with you
shall fall because of you.
Behold, I have created the smith
who blows the fire of coals
and produces a weapon for its purpose.
I have also created the ravager to destroy;
no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed,
and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you.
This
is the heritage of the servants of the Lord
and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.
and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.
