Jeremiah 31:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin Israel: thou shalt still [a]be adorned with thy timbrels, and shalt go forth in the dance of them that be joyful.
5 Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of [b]Samaria, and the planters that plant them, [c]shall make them common.
6 For the days shall come, that the [d]watchmen upon the mount of Ephraim shall cry, Arise, and let us go up unto [e]Zion to the Lord our God.
