Jeremiah 31:2-4

International Children’s Bible

“Some of the people were not killed by the enemy’s sword.
    Those people will find help in the desert.
    I have come to give rest to Israel.”

“I love you people
    with a love that will last forever.
I became your friend
    because of my love and kindness.
⁴ People of Israel, I will build you up again,
    and you will be rebuilt.
You will pick up your tambourines again.
    You will dance with those who are joyful.
