God's Relationship With His People

² Thus says the Lord,
“The people who survived the sword
Found grace in the wilderness—
Israel, when it went to find its rest.”
³ The Lord appeared to him from afar, saying,
“I have loved you with an everlasting love;

Again you will take up your tambourines,
And go forth to the dances of the merrymakers.
