The Lord appeared to Israel[a] from far away and said,[b]
    “I’ve loved you with an everlasting love,
        therefore I’ve drawn you with gracious love.
I’ll again build you, and you will be rebuilt,
    Virgin Israel!
You will again take up your tambourines
    and go out to dance with those who are filled with joy.
You will again plant vineyards on the hills of Samaria
    where planters had planted and defiled the fruit.[c]
