For a brief moment I abandoned you,
    but with great tenderness I will take you back.
In an outburst of wrath, for a moment
    I hid my face from you;
But with enduring love I take pity on you,
    says the Lord, your redeemer.

    should never again flood the earth,
So I have sworn now not to be angry with you,
    or to rebuke you.(A)
