The regathering of Judah 31:23-26 
hide text

31:23 Instead of Judah being a target for cursing in the future, as she became because of the Babylonian exile, she would be a subject of blessing. She would become a place where righteousness dwelt, a holy hill.

31:24-25 Judah would experience great unity at that time because the Lord would satisfy the previously weary residents and refresh those who formerly languished.

31:26 Jeremiah awoke from the sleep in which he had received this encouraging revelation from the Lord feeling good. The revelation was positive, and it encouraged him. Perhaps since sleep is often symbolic of death (cf. Job 14:12; et al.), Jeremiah may represent Judah that awakens to new life.409
