THE INGATHERING OF THE EXILES IS LIKENED TO THE JOY OF A WEDDING

Isaiah 51:3 For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places and he will make her wilderness like Eden and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving and the voice of melody.

Jeremiah 31:11 For the LORD has redeemed Jacob and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he.

Jeremiah 31:13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy and will comfort them and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
