Jeremiah 31:16-21

16This is what the LORD says:

“Keep your voice from weepingand your eyes from tears,for the reward for your work will come,declares the LORD.Then your children will returnfrom the land of the enemy.17So there is hope for your future,declares the LORD,and your children will returnto their own land.
18I have surely heard Ephraim’s1 moaning:
‘You disciplined me severely,like an untrained calf.Restore me, that I may return,for You are the LORD my God.19After I returned, I repented;and after I was instructed, I struck my thigh in grief.I was ashamed and humiliatedbecause I bore the disgrace of my youth.’
20Is not Ephraim a precious son to Me,a delightful child?Though I often speak against him,I still remember him.Therefore My heart yearns for him;2I have great compassion for him,”declares the LORD.21“Set up the road markers,put up the signposts.Keep the highway in mind,the road you have traveled.Return, O Virgin Israel,return to these cities of yours.
