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.
11 “You afflicted, tossed with storms, and not comforted,behold, I will set your stones in beautiful colors,and lay your foundations with sapphires.
12 I will make your pinnacles of rubies,your gates of sparkling jewels,and all your walls of precious stones.
13 All your children will be taught by the Lord;and your children’s peace will be great.
