Jeremiah 31:13

God's People Brought Home

¹² And they shall come, and rejoice upon the hill of Zion, and shall have plenteousness of goods, which the LORD shall give them: Namely, wheat, wine, oil, young sheep and calves. And their conscience shall be as a well-watered garden, for they shall no more be hungry. ¹³ Then shall the maid rejoice in the dance, yea both young and old folks. For I will turn their sorrow into gladness, and will comfort them and make them joyful, even from their hearts. ¹⁴ I will pour plenteousness upon the hearts of the priests, and my people shall be satisfied with good things, sayeth the LORD."
