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