God says, “I left you for a short time,
    but with great kindness I will bring you back again.
I became very angry
    and hid from you for a time,
but I will show you mercy with kindness forever,”
    says the Lord who saves you.

In the same way, I promise I will not be angry with you
    or punish you again.
