“To me this is like the days of Noah,
    when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth.(A)
So now I have sworn(B) not to be angry(C) with you,
    never to rebuke(D) you again.
10 Though the mountains be shaken(E)
    and the hills be removed,
yet my unfailing love(F) for you will not be shaken(G)
    nor my covenant(H) of peace(I) be removed,”
    says the Lord, who has compassion(J) on you.

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.
