2This is what the LORD says: “The people who survive the sword will find favor in the wilderness; I will come to give rest to Israel.”
3The LORD appeared to us in the past, Or Lord has appeared to us from afar saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.
