Jeremiah 31:13

God's People Brought Home

¹² And they have come in, And have sung in the high place of Zion, And flowed unto the goodness of Jehovah, For wheat, and for new wine, and for oil, And for the young of the flock and herd, And their soul hath been as a watered garden, And they add not to grieve any more. ¹³ Then rejoice doth a virgin in a chorus, Both young men and old men -- together, And I have turned their mourning to joy, And have comforted them, And gladdened them above their sorrow, ¹⁴ And satisfied the soul of the priests with fatness, And My people with My goodness are satisfied, An affirmation of Jehovah.
