Isaiah 54:7

For a small moment; for the space of some few years, as seventy years in Babylon, and some such intervals, which may well be called a small moment in comparison of God's everlasting kindness mentioned in the next verse. Forsaken thee; withdrawn my favour and help from thee, and left thee in thine enemies hands. With great mercies, such as are most precious and sweet for quality, as is here said, and such as are of long continuance, as is said in the following verse, will I gather thee from all the places where thou art dispersed, from all the parts of the world.
