A Promise More Stable Than Mountains
Commentators explain that this verse uses a powerful hyperbole. God contrasts His promise with the most stable things we know—mountains and hills. The point is that even if the entire physical world were to collapse, God's lovingkindness and His covenant of peace would remain steadfast. This promise is more durable than creation itself.
