Jeremiah 31:1 - 31:6

Israel’s Mourning Turned to Joy

“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.”
3
Yahweh appeared to him from afar, saying,
“I have loved you with an everlasting love;
Therefore I have drawn you with lovingkindness.
4
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.
5
Again you will plant vineyards
On the hills of Samaria;
The planters will plant
And will enjoy them.
6
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.’”
