Nearby Context

Jeremiah 31:1 “At that time,” declares Yahweh, “I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be My people.”

Jeremiah 31:2 Thus says Yahweh, “The people who survived the sword Found grace in the wilderness— Israel, when it went to find its relief.”

Jeremiah 31:3 Yahweh appeared to him from afar, saying, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore I have drawn you with lovingkindness.

Study Lenses

The verse centers on "time", "declares", "yahweh", "families", "israel", "shall", and "people". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "time" and "declares", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The next verse adds "Thus says Yahweh The people who survived...", so "time" and "declares" should be read forward into that movement. In Jeremiah context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "time" and "declares" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
