the Holy One^(C) of Israel is your Redeemer;^(D)
    he is called the God of all the earth.^(E)
6 The Lord will call you back^(F)
    as if you were a wife deserted^(G) and distressed in spirit—

    only to be rejected,” says your God.
⁷ “For a brief moment^(I) I abandoned^(J) you,
    but with deep compassion^(K) I will bring you back.^(L)
8 In a surge of anger^(M)
    I hid^(N) my face from you for a moment,
but with everlasting kindness^(O)
    I will have compassion^(P) on you,”
    says the Lord your Redeemer.^(Q)

⁹ “To me this is like the days of Noah,
    when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth.^(R)

¹⁰ Though the mountains be shaken^(V)
    and the hills be removed,
yet my unfailing love^(W) for you will not be shaken^(X)
    nor my covenant^(Y) of peace^(Z) be removed,”
    says the Lord, who has compassion^(AA) on you.
