Jeremiah 31

(Matthew 2:16–18)

1“At thatH1931 timeH6256,” declaresH5002 the LORDH3068, “I will beH1961 the GodH430 of allH3605 the familiesH4940 of IsraelH3478, and theyH1992 will beH1961 My peopleH5971.”

2This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559:

3The LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to us in the pastH7350, saying:1

7ForH3588 this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559:

15This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559:

16This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559:

23This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saysH559: “When I restoreH7725 themH853 from captivityH7622,6 they will once againH5750 speakH559 thisH2088 wordH1697 in the landH776 of JudahH3063 and in its citiesH5892: ‘May the LORDH3068 bless youH1288, O righteousH6664 dwelling placeH5116, O holyH6944 mountainH2022.’ 24And JudahH3063 and allH3605 its citiesH5892 will dwellH3427 togetherH3162 in the land, the farmersH406 and those who moveH5265 with the flocksH5739, 25forH3588 I will refreshH7301 the wearyH5889 soulH5315 and replenishH4390 allH3605H5315 who are weakH1669.”

The New Covenant

(Hebrews 8:6–13)

26AtH5921 thisH2063 I awokeH6974 and looked aroundH7200. My sleepH8142 had been most pleasantH6149 to me.

“The daysH3117 are comingH935,” declaresH5002 the LORDH3068, “when I will sowH2232 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 with the seedH2233 of manH120 and of beastH929. 28Just asH834 I watchedH8245 over themH5921 to uprootH5428 and tear downH5422, to demolishH2040, destroyH6, and bring disasterH7489, soH3651 I will watchH8245 over themH5921 to buildH1129 and to plantH5193,” declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.

29“In thoseH1992 daysH3117, it will noH3808 longerH5750 be saidH559:

30InsteadH3588H518, eachH376 will dieH4191 for his own iniquityH5771. If anyoneH3605H120 eatsH398 the sour grapesH1155, his own teethH8127 will be set on edgeH6949.

35ThusH3541 saysH559 the LORDH3068, who givesH5414 the sunH8121 for lightH216 by dayH3119, who sets in orderH2708 the moonH3394 and starsH3556 for lightH216 by nightH3915, who stirs upH7280 the seaH3220 so that its wavesH1530 roarH1993—the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 is His nameH8034:

37This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559:

38“The daysH3117 are comingH2009,”9 declaresH5002 the LORDH3068, “when this cityH5892 will be rebuiltH1129 forH3068 Me, from the towerH4026 of HananelH2606 to the CornerH6438 GateH8179. 39The measuringH4060 lineH6961 will once againH5750 stretch outH3318 straightH5048 toH5921 the hillH1389 of GarebH1619 and then turnH5437 toward GoahH1601. 40The wholeH3605 valleyH6010 of the dead bodiesH6297 and ashesH1880, and allH3605 the fieldsH8309 asH5704 far as the KidronH6939 ValleyH5158, toH5704 the cornerH6438 of the HorseH5483 GateH8179 to the eastH4217, will be holyH6944 to the LORDH3068. It will neverH3808H5769 againH5750 be uprootedH5428H3808 or demolishedH2040.”
