Jeremiah 31:2-6

English Standard Version

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