⁹ This is like the days of Noah to me:
   Just as I swore that the waters of Noah
   would never again go over the earth,
so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you
   and will not rebuke you.
¹⁰ For the mountains may depart
   and the hills be removed,
but my steadfast love shall not depart from you,
   and my covenant of peace shall not be removed,
   says the Lord, who has compassion on you.

¹¹ O afflicted one, storm-tossed, and not comforted,
   I am about to set your stones in antimony,
   and lay your foundations with sapphires.^*
12 I will make your pinnacles of rubies,
   your gates of jewels,
   and all your wall of precious stones.
¹³ All your children shall be taught by the Lord,
   and great shall be the prosperity of your children.
¹⁴ In righteousness you shall be established;
   you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;
   and from terror, for it shall not come near you.
¹⁵ If anyone stirs up strife,
   it is not from me;
whoever stirs up strife with you
   shall fall because of you.
¹⁶ See, it is I who have created the smith
   who blows the fire of coals,
   and produces a weapon fit for its purpose;
I have also created the ravager to destroy.
¹⁷   No weapon that is fashioned against you shall prosper,
   and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgement.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord
   and their vindication from me, says the Lord.
