Jeremiah 31:13

God's People Brought Home

¹² And they came and shouted in the height of Zion, and they flowed together to the goodness of Jehovah, for the grain and for the new wine, and for the oil, and for the sons of the flock and the herd: and their soul was as a watered garden, and they shall not add to pine away any more. ¹³ Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and old men together: and I turned their mourning to joy, and I comforted them and caused them to rejoice from their sorrow. ¹⁴ And I satiated the soul of the priests with fatness and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, says Jehovah.
