Jeremiah 31:3

3 And from far away the Lord appeared to his people and said, "I love you people with a love that will last forever. That is why I have continued showing you kindness.

Jeremiah 31:15

15 This is what the Lord says: "A voice was heard in Ramah of painful crying and deep sadness: Rachel crying for her children. She refused to be comforted, because her children are dead!"

Jeremiah 31:29-30

29 "At that time people will no longer say: 'The parents have eaten sour grapes, and that caused the children to grind their teeth from the sour taste.'

30 Instead, each person will die for his own sin; the person who eats sour grapes will grind his own teeth.

Jeremiah 31:31-34

31 "Look, the time is coming," says the Lord, "when I will make a new agreement with the people of Israel and the people of Judah.

32 It will not be like the agreement I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to bring them out of Egypt. I was a husband to them, but they broke that agreement," says the Lord.

33 "This is the agreement I will make with the people of Israel at that time," says the Lord: "I will put my teachings in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

34 People will no longer have to teach their neighbors and relatives to know the Lord, because all people will know me, from the least to the most important," says the Lord. "I will forgive them for the wicked things they did, and I will not remember their sins anymore."
