SCRIPTURE

"Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me." — Jeremiah 31:26 (ASV)

The prophet, seeming to himself to awake and look up in the midst of his sleep (whether ecstatic or not we cannot tell), rejoiced in a revelation so entirely consolatory, and unlike his usual message of woe.
