Read Isaiah 54:10 in the NABRE onlineFor the mountains shall be moved, and the hills shall tremble; but my mercy shall not depart from thee, and the covenant of my peace shall not be moved: said the Lord that hath mercy on thee.
Reflection
Mountains can move; this covenant cannot. The promise is framed in the most permanent terms the writer could imagine, and then made bigger: the mountains may depart but the kindness will not.
