Isaiah 54:9

“As far as I am concerned, this is like in Noah’s time, ¹  when I vowed that the waters of Noah’s flood ²  would never again cover the earth. In the same way I have vowed that I will not be angry at you or shout at you.

Ge 8:21; Ge 9:11-16; Ps 104:9; Isa 12:1; Isa 55:11; Jer 31:35,36; Jer 33:20-26; Eze 39:20; Heb 6:16-18

¹ tc The Hebrew text reads literally, “For [or “indeed”] the waters of Noah [is] this to me.” כִּי־מֵי (ki-me, “for the waters of”) should be emended to כְּמֵי (kÿmey, “like the days of”), which is supported by the Qumran scroll 1QIsa^a and all the ancient versions except LXX.

² tn Heb “the waters of Noah” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV).
