Context of Jeremiah 31:24

22How long will you wander, O faithless daughter? For the LORD has created a new thing in the land— a woman will shelter a man.” 23This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “When I restore them from captivity, they will once again speak this word in the land of Judah and in its cities: ‘May the LORD bless you, O righteous dwelling place, O holy mountain.’ And Judah and all its cities will dwell together in the land, the farmers and those who move with the flocks, 25for I will refresh the weary soul and replenish all who are weak.” 26At this I awoke and looked around. My sleep had been most pleasant to me.
