    For that moment, when I was so mad,
        I made it impossible for you to see Me, to find Me,
    But with great tenderness, I will take you back in love.

    I think this is like the time when Noah lived.
        I promised that I would never again destroy the world by a flood.
    So now I am promising never again to be so angry
        and punishing as I was when I sent you away.
10     Even if the mountains heave up from their anchors,
        and the hills quiver and shake, I will not desert you.
    You can rely on My enduring love;
        My covenant of peace will stand forever.

So says the Eternal One, whose love won’t give up on you.

    never to rebuke(I) you again.
10 Though the mountains be shaken(J)
    and the hills be removed,
yet my unfailing love(K) for you will not be shaken(L)
    nor my covenant(M) of peace(N) be removed,”
    says the Lord, who has compassion(O) on you.
