1 At that time, says the Lord, I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be My people.
2 Thus says the Lord: The people who survived the swordfound grace in the wilderness,when I went to give Israel rest.
3 The Lord has appeared to him from afar, saying: Indeed, I have loved you with an everlasting love;therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.
4 Again I will build youand you will be built, O virgin of Israel.You will again be adorned with your tambourinesand shall go forth in the dances of those who make merry.
5 You will yet plant vineson the mountains of Samaria;the planters will plantand will enjoy them.
6 For there will be a day when the watchmenon the hills of Ephraim will proclaim,“Arise, and let us go up to Zion,to the Lord our God.”
