Jeremiah 31:1-9

1“At that time,” declares the LORD, “I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be My people.”

2This is what the LORD says:

“The people who survived the swordfound favor in the wildernesswhen Israel went to find rest.”

3The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying:1

“I have loved you with an everlasting love;therefore I have drawn you with loving devotion.4Again I will build you, and you will be rebuilt,O Virgin Israel.Again you will take up your tambourinesand go out in joyful dancing.5Again you will plant vineyards on the hills of Samaria;the farmers will plant and enjoy the fruit.6For there will be a day when watchmen will call outon the hills of Ephraim,‘Arise, let us go up to Zion,to the LORD our God!’”

7For this is what the LORD says:

“Sing with joy for Jacob;shout for the foremost of the nations!Make your praises heard, and say,‘O LORD, save Your people,the remnant of Israel!’

8Behold, I will bring them from the land of the northand gather them from the farthest parts of the earth,including the blind and the lame,expectant mothers and women in labor.They will return as a great assembly!

9They will come with weeping,and by their supplication I will lead them;I will make them walk beside streams of waters,on a level path where they will not stumble.For I am Israel’s Father,and Ephraim is My firstborn.”
