“For this is like the days[a] of Noah to me:
when I swore that the water of Noah
would never flood the earth again,(A)
so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you
or rebuke you.(B)
10 Though the mountains move
and the hills shake,
my love will not be removed from you
and my covenant of peace(C) will not be shaken,”
says your compassionate Lord.
