Jeremiah 31:1-6

Evangelical Heritage Version

I will be the God of all the families of Israel,
and they will be my people.

² This is what the Lord says.
The people who survived the sword found grace in the wilderness.
Israel had continual rest.

³ The Lord appeared to me^[a] from a distance, saying:
I have loved you with an everlasting love.
I have drawn you with mercy.
⁴ I will build you up again,
and you will be built up, O Virgin Israel.
You will pick up your drums again,
and you will go out to dance with those who are joyful.
⁵ Again you will plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria.
The planters will plant and will enjoy its fruit.
⁶ For there will be a day
when the watchmen on the hills of Ephraim cry out,
“Come, let us go up to Zion, to the Lord our God.”
