Context of Jeremiah 31:24
22How long will you waver, You rebellious daughter? For the Lord has created a new thing on the earth: A woman will shelter a man.” 23This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: “Once again they will speak this word in the land of Judah and in its cities when I restore their fortunes, ‘The Lord bless you, O place of righteousness, O holy hill!’ Judah and all its cities will live together in it, the farmers and those who travel with flocks. 25For I give plenty of water to the weary ones, and refresh everyone who languishes.” 26At this I awoke and looked, and my sleep had been pleasant to me.
