1 In that time, said the Lord, I will be the God unto all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.
2 Thus hath the Lord said, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness as I went to cause Israel to find rest.
3 The Lord has appeared of old unto me, saying, I have loved thee with an eternal love: therefore, I have put up with thee with mercy.
4 Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tambourines and shalt go forth in the chorus of dancers.
