Isaiah 54:7 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. For a small moment "In a little anger" - So the Chaldee and Syriac, either reading רגז regaz, for רגע rega; or understanding the latter word as meaning the same with the former, which they both make use of. See Psalms 30:5; Psalms 35:20, in the Septuagint, where they render רגע rega by οργη, anger.
