‏ Jeremiah 31:4

4 I will rebuild you, my dear children Israel, ^{▼▼tn Heb “Virgin Israel.”} ^{▼▼sn For the significance of this metaphor see the note on Jer 14:17. Here the emphasis rests on his special love and care for his people and the hint (further developed in vv. 21-22) that, though they are guilty of sin, he views them like an innocent young virgin.}
so that you will once again be built up.
Once again you will take up the tambourine
and join in the happy throng of dancers. ^{▼▼sn Contrast Jer 7:34 and 25:10.}
