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.’”
