A Promise of Comfort and Hope

I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.

Jeremiah 31:25

Jeremiah 31:25 is a verse from the Old Testament book of Jeremiah, which is a collection of prophecies and lamentations attributed to the prophet Jeremiah and is believed to have been written in the sixth century BC, during the Babylonian exile of the Israelites.

This verse is part of a larger prophecy in which God promises to restore the fortunes of his people, the Israelites, who have been exiled from their homeland and scattered throughout the world. The preceding verses in Jeremiah 31 describe God’s promise to bring the Israelites back to their land, to rebuild the cities that have been destroyed, and to restore the people’s relationship with God.

In the context of this larger prophecy, Jeremiah 31:25 is a promise of comfort and relief for the Israelites who have suffered in exile. It expresses God’s compassion for those who are weary and faint from their long journey, and his promise to provide them with refreshment and satisfaction. It is a source of hope and encouragement for those who are struggling or facing difficult circumstances.
