The Witness of the Stars

by E. W. Bullinger

“Thy Maker is thine husband;

The Lord of Hosts is His name;

And the Holy One of Israel is thy Redeemer;

The God of the whole earth shall He be called.

For the Lord hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit,

Even a wife of youth when she is cast off, saith thy God.

For a small moment have I forsaken thee;

But with great mercies will I gather thee.

In overflowing 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.”
