For your (A)husband is your Maker,
Whose name is Yahweh of hosts;
And your (B)Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel,
Who is called the (C)God of all the earth.
For Yahweh has called you,
Like a wife (D)forsaken and grieved in spirit,
Even like a wife of one’s youth when she is rejected,”
Says your God.
[a]For a (E)brief moment I forsook you,
But with great compassion I will (F)gather you.
In [b]a (G)flood of fury
I hid My face from you for a moment,
But with everlasting (H)lovingkindness I will (I)have compassion on you,”
Says Yahweh your (J)Redeemer.

“For [c]this is like the days of Noah to Me,
When I swore that the waters of Noah
Would (K)not [d]overflow the earth again;
So I have sworn that I will (L)not be furious with you
Nor will I rebuke you.
10 For the (M)mountains may be removed and the hills may shake,
But My lovingkindness will not be removed from you,
And My (N)covenant of peace will not be shaken,”
Says (O)Yahweh who has compassion on you.

11 “O (P)afflicted one, storm-tossed, and (Q)not comforted,
Behold, I will lay your stones in antimony,
And your foundations I will (R)set in [e](S)sapphires.
12 Moreover, I will make your battlements of [f]rubies,
And your gates of [g]crystal,
And your entire [h]wall of [i]precious stones.
13 (T)All your sons will be [j]taught of Yahweh;
And the peace of your sons will be (U)great.
14 In (V)righteousness you will be established;
You will be far from (W)oppression, for you will (X)not fear,
And from (Y)terror, for it will not come near you.
