Context of Isaiah 54:10

8For a moment I became very angry with you, and I turned away from you. But now I will be kind to you, because my love for you continues for ever.’ That is what the Lord, your Redeemer, says. 9‘This is like what I did in Noah's time. At that time, I promised that a flood of water would never again destroy the earth. Now, at this time, I have promised that I will not be angry with you again. I will not speak against you again. The mountains may shake to pieces, and the hills may disappear. But I will never take my love away from you. My covenant that brings peace between us will never finish.’ That is what the Lord who is very kind to you says. 11‘My city, enemies attacked you, like a strong storm. Nobody was there to help you. Look! Now I will use beautiful jewels to build you again. I will build your foundation with blue sapphires. 12I will build your strong towers with rubies. I will build your gates with valuable jewels, and I will build your walls with beautiful stones.
