Jeremiah 31:1-6

1At the same timeH6256, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, will I be the GodH430 of all the familiesH4940 of IsraelH3478, and they shall be my peopleH5971.

2Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068, The peopleH5971 which were leftH8300 of the swordH2719 foundH4672 graceH2580 in the wildernessH4057; even IsraelH3478, when I wentH1980 to cause him to restH7280.

3YhwhH3068 hath appearedH7200 of oldH7350 unto me, saying, Yea, I have lovedH157 thee with an everlastingH5769 loveH160: therefore with lovingkindnessH2617 have I drawnH4900 thee.1 2

4Again I will buildH1129 thee, and thou shalt be builtH1129, O virginH1330 of IsraelH3478: thou shalt again be adornedH5710 with thy tabretsH8596, and shalt go forthH3318 in the dancesH4234 of them that make merryH7832.3

5Thou shalt yet plantH5193 vinesH3754 upon the mountainsH2022 of SamariaH8111: the plantersH5193 shall plantH5193, and shall eat them as common thingsH2490.4

6For there shall beH3426 a dayH3117, that the watchmenH5341 upon the mountH2022 EphraimH669 shall cryH7121, AriseH6965 ye, and let us go upH5927 to ZionH6726 unto YhwhH3068 our GodH430.
