⁷ Will the Lord ^(A)reject evermore?
And will He ^(B)not be favorable again?

¹⁴ For ^(A)Yahweh will not abandon His people,
Nor will He ^(B)forsake His inheritance.

⁷ “^[a]For a ^(A)brief moment I forsook you,
But with great compassion I will ^(B)gather you.
⁸ 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.

⁹ “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.
