1 “At that time,” declares Yahweh, “I will be the God of all the clans of Israel, and they will be to me a people.”
2 Thus says Yahweh: “The people of the survivors of the sword found grace in the desert; Israel going to find their rest.”
3 From afar Yahweh appeared to me, saying, “I have loved you with an everlasting love. Therefore I have drawn you with loyal love.
4 I will again build you, and you will be built, O virgin Israel. You will again adorn yourself with your tambourines, and you will go forth in the dancing in a ring of the merrymakers.
