Context of Jeremiah 31:24
22How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for Yhwh hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man. 23Thus saith Yhwh of Armies, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity; Yhwh bless thee, O habitation of justice, and mountain of holiness. And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities thereof together, husbandmen, and they that go forth with flocks. 25For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul. 26Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me.
