This is what the Lord says:

The people who survived the sword
found favor in the wilderness.(A)
When Israel went to find rest,(B)
the Lord appeared to him[a] from far away.
I have loved you with an everlasting love;(C)
therefore, I have continued to extend faithful love to you.(D)
Again I will build you so that you will be rebuilt,
Virgin Israel.(E)
You will take up your tambourines again(F)
and go out in joyful dancing.
