The Lord has appeared [a]of old to me, saying:
“Yes, (A)I have loved you with (B)an everlasting love;
Therefore with lovingkindness I have (C)drawn you.
Again (D)I will build you, and you shall be rebuilt,
O virgin of Israel!
You shall again be adorned with your (E)tambourines,
And shall go forth in the dances of those who rejoice.
(F)You shall yet plant vines on the mountains of Samaria;
The planters shall plant and [b]eat them as ordinary food.
