Jeremiah 31:1-17

1At that timeH6256, saith Jehovah, will I beH1961 the 1GodH430 of all the familiesH4940 of IsraelH3478, and they shall beH1961 my peopleH5971.

2ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: The peopleH5971 [that were] left of the swordH2719 have foundH4672 graceH2580 in the wildernessH4057, [even] IsraelH3478, when I goH1980 to give him restH7280.

3Jehovah hath appearedH7200 from afarH7350 unto me, [saying,] Yea, I have lovedH157 thee with an everlasting loveH157; thereforeH3651 with loving-kindness have I drawnH4900 thee.

4I will buildH1129 thee againH5750, and thou shalt be builtH1129, O virginH1330 of IsraelH3478! Thou shalt againH5750 be adorned with thy tambours, and shalt goH3318 forthH3318 in the dances of them that make merry.

5Thou shalt againH5750 plantH5193 vineyardsH3754 upon the mountainsH2022 of SamariaH8111; the planters shall plantH5193, and shall eat the fruit.

6For there shall be a dayH3117, when the watchmenH5341 upon mount EphraimH669 shall cry, AriseH6965, and let us goH5927 up to ZionH6726, unto Jehovah our 2GodH430.

7For thusH3541 saith Jehovah: SingH7442 aloudH7442 [with] gladnessH8057 for JacobH3290, and shoutH7442 at the headH7218 of the nationsH1471; publish ye, praiseH1984 ye, and sayH559, Jehovah, saveH3467 thy peopleH5971, the remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478.

8Behold, I bringH935 them from the northH6828 country, and gatherH6908 them from the uttermost partsH3411 of the earthH776; [and] among them the blindH5787 and the lameH6455, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child togetherH3162: a greatH1419 assemblage shall they returnH7725 hither.

9They shall comeH935 with weepingH1065, and with supplicationsH8469 will I lead them; I will cause them to walk by water-brooks, in a straightH3477 wayH1870, wherein they shall not stumbleH3782; for I will beH1961 a fatherH1 to IsraelH3478, and EphraimH669 is my firstbornH1060.

10HearH8085 the wordH1697 of Jehovah, ye nationsH1471, and declareH5046 [it] to the isles afar off, and sayH559, He that scatteredH2219 IsraelH3478 will gatherH6908 him, and keepH8104 him, as a shepherdH7462 his flockH5739.

11For Jehovah hath ransomedH6299 JacobH3290, and redeemedH1350 him from the handH3027 of oneH4480 strongerH2389 than he.

12And they shall comeH935 and singH7442 aloudH7442 upon the heightH4791 of ZionH6726, and shall flow together to the goodnessH2898 of Jehovah, for corn, and for newH8492 wineH8492, and for oilH3323, and for the youngH1121 of the flockH6629 and of the herdH1241; and their soulH5315 shall beH1961 as a wateredH7302 gardenH1588, and they shall not languish any more at all.

13ThenH227 shall the virginH1330 rejoiceH8055 in the dance, and the youngH970 menH970 and oldH2205 togetherH3162; for I will turnH2015 their mourningH60 into gladness, and will comfortH5162 them, and makeH8055 them rejoiceH8055 after their sorrowH3015.

14And I will satiate the soulH5315 of the priestsH3548 with fatnessH1880, and my peopleH5971 shall be satisfiedH7646 with my goodnessH2898, saith Jehovah.

15ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: A voiceH6963 hath been heardH8085 in RamahH7414, the wail of very bitter weepingH1065, — RachelH7354 weepingH1065 for her children, refusingH3985 to be comfortedH5162 for her children, because they are not.

16ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: Refrain thy voiceH6963 from weepingH1065, and thine eyesH5869 from tearsH1832; for there is a rewardH7939 for thy workH6468, saith Jehovah; and they shall come again from the landH776 of the enemyH341.

17And there is hopeH8615 for thy latterH319 endH319, saith Jehovah, and thy children shall come again to their own borderH1366.
