Jeremiah 31:2-4

New International Reader's Version

“Some of my people will live through
    everything their enemies do to them.
They will find help in the desert.
    I will come to give peace and rest to Israel.”

“I have loved you with a love that lasts forever.
    I have kept on loving you with a kindness that never fails.
⁴ I will build you up again.
    Nation of Israel, you will be rebuilt.
Once again you will use your tambourines to celebrate.
    You will go out and dance with joy.
