Jeremiah 31:1-6 - God's Relationship With His People
1 At that time, says the Lord, I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people.
2 The Lord has said, Grace came in the waste land to a people kept safe from the sword, even to Israel on the way to his resting-place. 3 From far away he saw the Lord: my love for you is an eternal love: so with mercy I have made you come with me. 4 I will again make new your buildings, O virgin of Israel, and you will take up your place: again you will take up your instruments of music, and go out in the dances of those who are glad. 5 Again will your vine-gardens be planted on the hill of Samaria: the planters will be planting and using the fruit. 6 For there will be a day when those who get in the grapes on the hills of Ephraim will be crying, Up! let us go up to Zion to the Lord our God.
