Jeremiah 31:2-4

New Century Version

“The people who were not killed by the enemy’s sword
    found help in the desert.
    I came to give rest to Israel.”

“I love you people
    with a love that will last forever.
That is why I have continued
    showing you kindness.
⁴ People of Israel, I will build you up again,
    and you will be rebuilt.
You will pick up your tambourines again
    and dance with those who are joyful.
