1. “At that time, declares the Lord, I will be the God of all the clans of Israel, and they shall be my people.”
2. Thus says the Lord:“The people who survived the swordfound grace in the wilderness; when Israel sought for rest,
3. the Lord appeared to him from far away. I have loved you with an everlasting love;therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.
4. Again I will build you, and you shall be built,O virgin Israel! Again you shall adorn yourself with tambourinesand shall go forth in the dance of the merrymakers.
