4 “Don’t be afraid; for you will not be ashamed.Don’t be confounded; for you will not be disappointed.For you will forget the shame of your youth;and the reproach of your widowhood you shall remember no more.
5 For your Maker is your husband; the Lord of Hosts is his name.The Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer.He will be called the God of the whole earth.
6 For the Lord has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit,even a wife of youth, when she is cast off,” says your God.
7 “For a small moment I have forsaken you;but I will gather you with great mercies.
8 In overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment;but with everlasting loving 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 sworn that the waters of Noah will no more go over the earth,so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.
10 For the mountains may depart,and the hills be removed;but my loving kindness will not depart from you,and my covenant of peace will not be removed,”says the Lord who has mercy on you.
