6. For the Lord has called youlike a wife deserted and grieved in spirit,like a wife of youth when she is cast off,says your God.
7. For a brief moment I deserted you,but with great compassion I will gather you.
8. In overflowing anger for a momentI hid my face from you, but with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,”says the Lord, your Redeemer.
9. “This is like the days of Noah to me:as I swore that the waters of Noahshould no more go over the earth,so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you,and will not rebuke you.
