Jeremiah

¹“At that time,” says the Lord, “I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people.” ²the Lord says, “The people who survive the sword found favor in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.” ³The Lord appeared of old to me, saying,“Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love.Therefore I have drawn you with loving kindness. ⁴I will build you again,and you will be built, O virgin of Israel.You will again be adorned with your tambourines,and will go out in the dances of those who make merry. ⁵Again you will plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria.The planters will plant,and will enjoy its fruit. ⁶For there will be a day that the watchmen on the hills of Ephraim cry,‘Arise! Let’s go up to Zion to the Lord our God.’”
