1“At that time,” declares the LORD, “I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be My people.”
2This is what the LORD says:
“The people who survived the sword
found favor in the wilderness
when Israel went to find rest.”
3The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying:
“I have loved you with an everlasting love;
therefore I have drawn you with loving devotion.
— Jeremiah 31:1-3
