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.
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.

New Defender's Study Bible Notes

54:8 for a moment. The “little wrath” visited by God on rebellious Israel over many generations will soon be forgotten in view of God’s “everlasting kindness” in the ages to come. The same principle applies to God’s suffering people from every nation.


54:9 waters of Noah. Note that Isaiah here attests to the historical reality of the worldwide Flood and the perpetuity of the Noahic covenant.
