Jeremiah 31:2-4

Revised Geneva Translation

² Thus says the LORD: “The people who escaped the sword found grace in the wilderness.” He walks before Israel to cause it to rest.

³ The LORD has appeared to me from afar, saying: “Yea, I have loved you with an everlasting love. Therefore, with mercy I have drawn you.

⁴ “I will build you again. And you shall be built, O virgin Israel. You shall still be adorned with your tambourines and shall go forth in the dance of those who are joyful.
