Jeremiah 31:2-4

International Standard Version

The Lord Promises Restoration

²This is what the Lord says:
“The people who survived the sword,
    found favor in the desert
        while Israel was seeking rest.^[a]
³The Lord appeared to Israel^[b] from far away and said,^[c]
    “I’ve loved you with an everlasting love,
        therefore I’ve drawn you with gracious love.
⁴I’ll again build you, and you will be rebuilt,
    Virgin Israel!
You will again take up your tambourines
    and go out to dance with those who are filled with joy.
