7. “For a mere moment I have forsaken you,But with great mercies I will gather you.
8. With a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment;But with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you,”Says the Lord, your Redeemer.
9. “For this is like the waters of Noah to Me;For as I have swornThat the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth,So have I swornThat I would not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.
10. For the mountains shall departAnd the hills be removed,But My kindness shall not depart from you,Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,”Says the Lord, who has mercy on you.
11. “O you afflicted one,Tossed with tempest, and not comforted,Behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems,And lay your foundations with sapphires.
12. I will make your pinnacles of rubies,Your gates of crystal,And all your walls of precious stones.
13. All your children shall be taught by the Lord,And great shall be the peace of your children.
