Context of Jeremiah 31:24

22How long will you wander, unfaithful Daughter Israel? The Lord will create a new thing on earth— the woman will return to the man.” 23This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “When I bring them back from captivity, the people in the land of Judah and in its towns will once again use these words: ‘The Lord bless you, you prosperous city, you sacred mountain.’ People will live together in Judah and all its towns—farmers and those who move about with their flocks. 25I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.” 26At this I awoke and looked around. My sleep had been pleasant to me.
