5 The one marrying you is the one who made you—the Lord of heavenly forces is his name.The one redeeming you is the holy one of Israel,the one called the God of all the earth.
6 As an abandoned and dejected woman the Lord has summoned you;as a young wife when she is rejected,says your God.
7 For a brief moment I abandoned you,but with great mercy I will bring you back.
8 In an outburst of rage,I hid my face from you for a moment,but with everlasting love I have consoled you,says your redeemer, the Lord.
9 These are like the days of Noah for me,when I promised that Noah’s waters would never again cover the earth.Likewise I promise not to rage against you or rebuke you.
10 The mountains may shift,and the hills may be shaken,but my faithful love won’t shift from you,and my covenant of peace won’t be shaken,says the Lord, the one who pities you.
11 Suffering one, storm-tossed, uncomforted,look, I am setting your gemstonesin silvery metaland your foundations with sapphires.
