Jeremiah 31:1-6

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

² Thus says the Lord:
The people who survived the sword
    found grace in the wilderness;
when Israel sought for rest,^(B)
3     the Lord appeared to him^[a] from far away.^[b]
I have loved you with an everlasting love;
    therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.^(C)
4 Again I will build you, and you shall be built,
    O virgin Israel!
Again you shall adorn yourself with your tambourines
    and go forth in the dance of the merrymakers.^(D)
5 Again you shall plant vineyards
    on the mountains of Samaria;
the planters shall plant
    and shall enjoy the fruit.^(E)
6 For there shall be a day when sentinels will call
    in the hill country of Ephraim:
“Come, let us go up to Zion,
    to the Lord our God.”^(F)
