7 Thy God hath said, "I left thee for a little while; but with great mercy I will compassionate thee:
8 in a short wrath I turned away my face from thee; but with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on thee." The Lord who delivered thee hath said,
9 "From the flood which was in Noah's time this is my purpose; as I solemnly promised him at that time that I would no more be angry with the earth on thine account, nor in rebuking thee overturn the mountains;
10 and that thy hills should no more be moved; so my kindness for thee shall not fail, nor shall the covenant of thy peace ever be changed: for he said for thee, Be appeased, Lord."
11 [J] thou afflicted and storm beaten! Art thou not comforted? Behold I am preparing for thee carbuncles for thy building stones, and the sapphire for thy foundations;
12 and for thy battlements I will lay jasper; and crystal, for thy gates; and for thy circumambient walls, precious stones:
13 even thy sons, all instructed of God; and thy children in great prosperity.
14 And with righteousness thou shalt be rebuilded. Abstain from injustice and thou shalt not be affrighted; and as for terror, it shall not approach thee.
15 Behold proselytes shall come to thee for my sake; and they shall sojourn with thee and fly to thee.
16 Behold I have created thee, not like a coppersmith blowing coals and using a tool for the work. But I have created thee, not for destruction.
17 Perish every weapon formed against thee! I will not prosper it. Though every voice should rise up against thee for judgment, thou shalt overcome them all and in the trial they shall be condemned. There is an inheritance for them who serve the Lord, therefore you are to be just for me, saith the Lord.
