[:en]Thoughts from Jeremiah 31[:]

[:en]God promised to gather the scattered Israel and watch over His flock like a shepherd (v. 10).  He will bring them back from captivity, refresh the weary, and satisfy the faint (vs. 23-25).  He will plant the house of Israel and Judah with offspring of men and animals (v. 27).  He will make a new covenant with Israel and put His law in their minds and write it in their hearts.  They will be His people and He will be their God (v. 33)[:]
