40 (A)Comfort, O comfort My people,” says your God.
(B)Speak to the heart of Jerusalem;

That her [b](D)iniquity has been removed,
That she has received from the hand of Yahweh
(E)Double for all her sins.”

[a]For a (A)brief moment I forsook you,
But with great compassion I will (B)gather you.
In [b]a (C)flood of fury
I hid My face from you for a moment,
But with everlasting (D)lovingkindness I will (E)have compassion on you,”
Says Yahweh your (F)Redeemer.

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