Jeremiah 31:1-6 - God's Relationship With His People
1 "At that time," declares the LORD, "I'll be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people."
2 This is what the LORD says: "The people who survived the sword, found favor in the desert while Israel was seeking rest. 3 The LORD appeared to Israel from far away and said, "I've loved you with an everlasting love, therefore I've drawn you with gracious love. 4 I'll again build you, and you will be rebuilt, Virgin Israel! You will again take up your tambourines and go out to dance with those who are filled with joy. 5 You will again plant vineyards on the hills of Samaria where planters had planted and defiled the fruit. 6 For there will be a day when the watchmen will call out on the hills of Ephraim, "Arise, let's go up to Zion to the LORD our God.'"
