The Lord says, “This is like the time of Noah.
I promised then
    that I would never flood the world again.
In the same way, I promise
    I will not be angry with you or punish you again.
10 The mountains may disappear,
    and the hills may come to an end.
But my love will never disappear.
    My promise of peace will not come to an end,”
    says the Lord who shows mercy to you.

11 “You poor city. Storms have hurt you,
    and you have not been comforted.
But I will rebuild you using turquoise stones.
    I will build your foundations with sapphires.

yet my unfailing love(F) for you will not be shaken(G)
    nor my covenant(H) of peace(I) be removed,”
    says the Lord, who has compassion(J) on you.

    your foundations(O) with lapis lazuli.(P)
