古時（或譯：從遠方）耶和華向以色列（原文是我）顯現，說：我以永遠的愛愛你，因此我以慈愛吸引你。以色列的民（原文是處女）哪，我要再建立你，你就被建立；你必再以擊鼓為美，與歡樂的人一同跳舞而出；又必在撒馬利亞的山上栽種葡萄園，栽種的人要享用所結的果子。日子必到，以法蓮山上守望的人必呼叫說：起來吧！我們可以上錫安，到耶和華－我們的神那裏去。(耶利米書31:3-6 和合本)
The LORD appeared to him long ago, saying, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore I have drawn you out with kindness.I will build you again and you will be rebuilt, Virgin of Israel! You will take up your tambourines again, And go out to the dances of the revelers.Again you will plant vineyards On the hills of Samaria; The planters will plant And will enjoy the fruit.For there will be a day when watchmen On the hills of Ephraim call out, ‘Arise, and let’s go up to Zion, To the LORD our God.’ ”(Jeremiah31:3-6 NASB)
