Jeremiah 31:1-6 - God's Relationship With His People

¹ At the same time, sayeth the LORD, shall I be the God of all the generations of Israel, and they shall be my people."

² Thus sayeth the LORD, "The people of Israel which escaped in the wilderness from the sword, found grace to come into their rest. ³ Even so shall the LORD now also appear unto me from far, and say, 'I love thee with an everlasting love, therefore do I spread my mercy before thee.' ⁴ I will repair thee again, O thou daughter of Israel, that thou mayest be fast and sure. Thou shalt take thy tabrets again, and go forth, with them that lead the dance. ⁵ Thou shalt plant vines again upon the hills of Samaria, and the grape gathers shall plant and sing. ⁶ And when it is time, the watchmen upon the mount of Ephraim shall cry, 'Arise, let us go up unto Zion to our LORD God.'"
