“During Noah’s time I made a promise.
    I said I would never cover the earth with water again.
In the same way, I have promised not to be angry with you.
    I will never punish you again.
10 The mountains might shake.
    The hills might be removed.
But my faithful love for you will never be shaken.
    And my covenant that promises peace to you will never be removed,”
    says the Lord. He shows you his loving concern.

11 “Suffering city, you have been beaten by storms.
    You have not been comforted.
I will rebuild you with turquoise stones.
    I will rebuild your foundations with lapis lazuli.

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.

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