Jeremiah 31:1–7

aAt the same time, saith the Lord,

bWill I be the God of all the families of Israel,

And they shall be my people.

2  Thus saith the Lord,

The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness;

Even Israel, cwhen I went to cause him to rest.

3  The Lord hath appeared †of old unto me, saying,

Yea, dI have loved thee with ean everlasting love:

Therefore ||with lovingkindness fhave I drawn thee.

4  Again gI will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel:

Thou shalt again hbe adorned with thy ||tabrets,

And shalt go forth in ithe dances of jthem that make merry.

5  kThou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of lSamaria:

The planters shall plant, and shall †eat them as common things.

6  For there shall be a day,

That the watchmen upon mthe mount Ephraim shall cry,

nArise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the Lord our God.

7  For thus saith the Lord;

oSing with gladness for Jacob,

And oshout among pthe chief of the nations:

Publish ye, praise ye, and say,

O Lord, qsave thy people, the remnant of Israel.
