Jeremiah 31:2

God's Relationship With His People

¹ At that time, says Jehovah, I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be My people. ² So says Jehovah, The people who were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I will go to give him rest. ³ Jehovah has appeared to me from afar, saying, Yea, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with loving-kindness I have drawn you.
