Jeremiah 31:1 - 31:6

“At that time,” declares Yahweh, “I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be My people.” 2 Thus says Yahweh,

“The people who survived the sword

Found grace in the wilderness—

Israel, when it went to find its relief.”

Yahweh appeared to him from afar, saying,

“I have loved you with an everlasting love;

Therefore I have drawn you with lovingkindness.

Again I will build you, and you will be rebuilt,

O virgin of Israel!

Again you will take up your tambourines

And go forth to the dances of those celebrating.

Again you will plant vineyards

On the hills of Samaria;

The planters will plant

And will enjoy them.

For there will be a day when watchmen

On the hills of Ephraim call out,

‘Arise, and let us go up to Zion,

To Yahweh our God.’”
