“The people of the survivors of the sword found grace in the desert;

Israel going to find their rest.”

“I have loved you with an everlasting love.

At the same time, saith the Lord,

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

And they shall be my people.

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

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

The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying,

Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love:

Therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
