30:7 O Lord, in your good favor you made me secure. 1
Then you rejected me 2 and I was terrified.
8:17 I will wait patiently for the Lord,
who has rejected the family of Jacob; 3
I will wait for him.
12:1 At that time 4 you will say:
“I praise you, O Lord,
for even though you were angry with me,
your anger subsided, and you consoled me.
50:2 Why does no one challenge me when I come?
Why does no one respond when I call? 5
Is my hand too weak 6 to deliver 7 you?
Do I lack the power to rescue you?
Look, with a mere shout 8 I can dry up the sea;
I can turn streams into a desert,
so the fish rot away and die
from lack of water. 9
54:6 “Indeed, the Lord will call you back
like a wife who has been abandoned and suffers from depression, 10
like a young wife when she has been rejected,” says your God.
54:7 “For a short time I abandoned 11 you,
but with great compassion I will gather you.
54:8 In a burst 12 of anger I rejected you 13 momentarily,
but with lasting devotion I will have compassion on you,”
says your protector, 14 the Lord.
5:6 Although they bring their flocks and herds 15
to seek 16 the favor of the Lord, 17
They will not find him –
he has withdrawn himself from them!
5:15 Then I will return again to my lair
until they have suffered their punishment. 18
Then they will seek me; 19
in their distress they will earnestly seek me.
