3 the Lord appeared to them[a] from a distance:[b]
I have loved you with a love that lasts forever.
And so with unfailing love,
I have drawn you to myself.[c]
4 Again, I will build you up,
and you will be rebuilt, virgin Israel.
Again, you will play your tambourines
and dance with joy.

on the hills of Samaria;
farmers will plant and then enjoy the harvests.
