Jeremiah 31:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² Thus saith the Lord: The people that were left and escaped from the sword, found grace in the desert: Israel shall go to his rest.

³ The Lord hath appeared from afar to me. Yea I have loved thee with an everlasting love, therefore have I drawn thee, taking pity on thee.

⁴ And I will build thee again, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy timbrels, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.
