The Lord has called you as an abandoned and distressed woman. You were like the rejected wife of a young man. I have abandoned you for a small moment, but I will bring you back with great compassion. While a little angry, I hid my face from you for a moment, but with endless kindness I will have mercy on you, says your rescuer, Jehovah. Just as I promised Noah that I would not flood the whole earth again, I have promised not to be angry with you. The mountains will vanish, but neither my kindness nor my promise of peace will leave you.
You who are tossed helplessly in the storm, see how I decorate your land with colorful gemstones. I lay sapphires for your foundation and make your windows out of agates. I make your gates out of garnets and all your borders of delightful stones.
