Context of Jeremiah 31:5
3Yhwh hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. 4Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry. Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common things. 6For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto Yhwh our God. 7For thus saith Yhwh; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O Yhwh, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.
