Jeremías 31:6

Watchmen in the Northern Kingdom would again summon their fellow countrymen to make pilgrimages to God’s chosen city, Jerusalem, to worship Him there. After the kingdom divided, the northern Israelites worshipped at Bethel and Dan, not at Jerusalem. Thus a reunited Israel is in view.

Jeremiah 31:4-6 picture God’s restoration of Israel as a time of renewed joy (Jeremiah 31:4), peace and prosperity (Jeremiah 31:5), and renewed commitment to Yahweh (Jeremiah 31:6).

"This restoration reverses at least six aspects of the judgment suffered by Israel and Judah: no resting place in exile, a nation torn down, celebrations silenced, vines and plants uprooted, watchmen announcing the invading conqueror, and the temple destroyed. The poem also introduces an Israel transformed from a desperate adulteress (Jeremiah 4:30) to a joyful maiden on her way back to God." [Note: Ibid., pp. 109-10.]
