6  And he ^zestablished them forever and ever;

he gave ^aa decree, and it shall not ^bpass away.¹

9  “This is like ^tthe days of Noah¹ to me:

as I swore that the waters of Noah

should no more 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 ^umy covenant of peace shall not be removed,”

says the Lord, who has compassion on you.

36  ^c“If this fixed order departs

from before me, declares the Lord,

then shall the offspring of Israel cease

from being a nation before me forever.”
