I have loved you with an everlasting love;

    upon the mountains of Samar′ia;
the planters shall plant,
    and shall enjoy the fruit.

  1. Jeremiah 31:3 Gk: Heb me

The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.

Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common things.
