“Just as I swore in the time of Noah
    that I would never again let a flood cover the earth,
so now I swear
    that I will never again be angry and punish you.
10 For the mountains may move
    and the hills disappear,
but even then my faithful love for you will remain.
    My covenant of blessing will never be broken,”

11 “O storm-battered city,
    troubled and desolate!
I will rebuild you with precious jewels
    and make your foundations from lapis lazuli.

“To me this is like the days of Noah,

So now I have sworn(B) not to be angry(C) with you,

10 Though the mountains be shaken(E)
    and the hills be removed,
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.

11 “Afflicted(K) city, lashed by storms(L) and not comforted,(M)
    I will rebuild you with stones of turquoise,[a](N)
    your foundations(O) with lapis lazuli.(P)
