Thus says the Lord:

“The people who survived the sword
Found grace in the wilderness—
Israel, when (A)I went to give him rest.”

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