Context of Jeremiah 31:5
3At that time long ago, the Lord showed himself to his people. He said, ‘I have always loved you and I always will love you. My faithful love for you continues for ever. 4My special people of Israel, I will make you strong again. You will be so happy that you dance, as people make music with tambourines. You will again plant vines on the hills in Samaria. Yes, farmers will plant vines and they will eat their fruit. 6There will be a time when guards will call out, as they watch for danger in the hills of Ephraim. They will shout, “Let us go up to Zion, to worship the Lord our God.” ’ 7The Lord says this: ‘Sing with joy for Jacob's descendants! They are the greatest of all the nations! Praise the Lord with loud voices! Say, “Lord, please save your people. Save those Israelites who are still alive.”
