“This is like the days of Noah to me,” says the Lord. “As I swore that the waters of Noahshould no more cover the earth, so I have sworn that I will not forever beangry with you, and I will not rebuke you. For the mountains may depart and thehills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and mycovenant of peace shall not be removed.” Thus says the Lord God, who has compassion on you.
