Jeremiah 31:1-6

1"At that time, declares the Lord, I will be the God of all the clans of Israel, and they shall be my people."

2Thus says the Lord: "The people who survived the sword found grace in the wilderness; when Israel sought for rest,

3the Lord appeared to him from far away. I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.

4Again I will build you, and you shall be built, O virgin Israel! Again you shall adorn yourself with tambourines and shall go forth in the dance of the merrymakers.

5Again you shall plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria; the planters shall plant and shall enjoy the fruit.

6For there shall be a day when watchmen will call in the hill country of Ephraim: 'Arise, and let us go up to Zion, to the Lord our God.'"
