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.
12 I will make your towers of rubies,and your gates of beryl,and all your walls of precious jewels.
13 All your children will be disciples of the Lord—I will make peace abound for your children.
14 You will be firmly founded in righteousness.You will stay far from oppression because you won’t fear,far from terror because it won’t come near you.
