“For this is like the days[a] of Noah to me:
when I swore that the water of Noah
would never flood the earth again,(A)
so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you
or rebuke you.(B)
10 Though the mountains move
and the hills shake,
my love will not be removed from you
and my covenant of peace(C) will not be shaken,”
says your compassionate Lord.

God’s Reconciliation with Israel

“For this is like the waters of Noah to me,
    when I swore that the waters of Noah
        would never again spread over the earth;
so have I sworn that I won’t be angry with you again[a]
    and that I[b] won’t rebuke you.
10 For the mountains may collapse
    and the hills may reel,
but my gracious love will not depart from you,
    neither will my covenant of peace totter,”
        says the Lord, who has compassion on you.
