Commentaire sur Isaïe 54:9
כִּי־מֵ֥י נֹ֙חַ֙ זֹ֣את לִ֔י אֲשֶׁ֣ר נִשְׁבַּ֗עְתִּי מֵעֲבֹ֥ר מֵי־נֹ֛חַ ע֖וֹד עַל־הָאָ֑רֶץ כֵּ֥ן נִשְׁבַּ֛עְתִּי מִקְּצֹ֥ף עָלַ֖יִךְ וּמִגְּעָר־בָּֽךְ׃
Certes, je ferai en cela comme pour les eaux de Noé: de même que j’ai juré que le déluge de Noé ne désolerait plus la terre, ainsi je jure de ne plus m’irriter ni diriger des menaces contre toi.
Rashi on Isaiah
For this is to Me [as] the waters of Noah [i.e.,] it is an oath in My hand, and He proceeds to explain His words, “as I swore that the waters of Noah shall never again pass over the earth, etc.”

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
This, namely, the punishment, which I decreed, and the comfort which I promised.19The punishment is compared with the flood, the comfort with the promise which was then given by the Lord, that the flood should never be brought again.
