Jeremiah 31:13

God's People Brought Home

¹² Then shall they come in and shall shout in triumph on the height of Zion, And shall stream unto the goodness of Yahweh To the wheat, and to the new wine, and to the oil, and to the young of the flocks and of the herds, - So shall their soul become like a garden well watered, And they shall not again languish any more. ¹³ Then shall the virgin rejoice, in the dance, And young men and elders rejoice together, And I will turn their mourning into gladness and will comfort them, And will make them rejoice from their sorrow; ¹⁴ Then will I satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, And my people with my goodness, shall be satisfied, Declareth Yahweh.
