Jeremiah 31:1-6
Legacy Standard Bible
Israel’s Mourning Turned to Joy
31 “At that time,” declares Yahweh, “I will be the (A)God of all the (B)families of Israel, and they shall be My people.”
2 Thus says Yahweh,
“The people who survived the sword
(C)Found grace in the wilderness—
Israel, when it went to (D)find its relief.”
3 Yahweh appeared to [a]him from afar, saying,
“I have (E)loved you with an everlasting love;
Therefore I have drawn you with (F)lovingkindness.
4 (G)Again I will build you, and you will be rebuilt,
O virgin of Israel!
Again you will [b]take up your (H)tambourines
And go forth to the dances of those (I)celebrating.
5 Again you will (J)plant vineyards
On the [c]hills of Samaria;
The planters will plant
And will [d]enjoy them.
6 For there will be a day when watchmen
On the hills of Ephraim call out,
‘Arise, and (K)let us go up to Zion,
To Yahweh our God.’”

Evangelical Heritage Version
The Lord’s Love for Israel
31 At that time, declares the Lord,
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.”
