3. The Lord has appeared to him from afar, saying: Indeed, I have loved you with an everlasting love;therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.
4. Again I will build youand you will be built, O virgin of Israel.You will again be adorned with your tambourinesand shall go forth in the dances of those who make merry.
5. You will yet plant vineson the mountains of Samaria;the planters will plantand will enjoy them.
6. For there will be a day when the watchmenon the hills of Ephraim will proclaim,“Arise, and let us go up to Zion,to the Lord our God.”
7. For thus says the Lord: Sing with gladness for Jacob,and shout among the chief of the nations;publish, praise, and say,“O Lord, save Your people,the remnant of Israel.”
