Jeremiah

Jeremiah 31:12–13

¹²They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion;

they will be radiant over the bounty of the LORD —

the grain, new wine, and oil,

and the young of the flocks and herds.

Their life will be like a well-watered garden,

and never again will they languish.

¹³Then the maidens will rejoice with dancing,

young men and old as well.

I will turn their mourning into joy,

and give them comfort and joy for their sorrow.
