Context of Jeremiah 31:24
22Thus says Adonai-Tzva’ot, the God of Israel: “Yet again will they use this expression in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I will return them from exile: ‘Adonai bless you, O dwelling of righteousness, O mountain of holiness.’ 23Judah and all its cities will dwell there together—the farmer and those who go about with flocks. For I will satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul will refresh.” 25At this point I awoke, and looked around, and my sleep was sweet to me. 26“Behold, days are coming”—it is a declaration of Adonai—“when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and with the seed of beast.
