1. “At that time,” declares the Lord, “I will 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 wars have found favor in the desert.Israel went to find its rest.
3. The Lord appeared to me in a faraway place and said,“I love you with an everlasting love.So I will continue to show you my kindness.
4. Once again I will build you up,and you will be rebuilt, my dear people Israel.Once again you will take your tambourines,and you will go dancing with happy people.
