Jeremiah 31:3

3 met God out looking for them!" God told them, "I've never quit loving you and never will. Expect love, love, and more love!

Jeremiah 31:15

15 Again, God's Message: "Listen to this! Laments coming out of Ramah, wild and bitter weeping. It's Rachel weeping for her children, Rachel refusing all solace. Her children are gone, gone - long gone into exile."

Jeremiah 31:29-34

29 "When that time comes you won't hear the old proverb anymore, Parents ate the green apples, their children got the stomachache.

30 "No, each person will pay for his own sin. You eat green apples, you're the one who gets sick.

31 "That's right. The time is coming when I will make a brand-new covenant with Israel and Judah.

32 It won't be a repeat of the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took their hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. They broke that covenant even though I did my part as their Master." God's Decree.

33 "This is the brand-new covenant that I will make with Israel when the time comes. I will put my law within them - write it on their hearts! - and be their God. And they will be my people.

34 They will no longer go around setting up schools to teach each other about God. They'll know me firsthand, the dull and the bright, the smart and the slow. I'll wipe the slate clean for each of them. I'll forget they ever sinned!" God's Decree. If This Ordered Cosmos Ever Fell to Pieces
