Context of Jeremiah 31:11

9They will be weeping as they come. They will pray for my help as I lead them. I will lead them beside streams of fresh water, and on flat paths where they will not fall down. I will help them because I am a father for Israel's people. Ephraim is like my firstborn son.’ 10People of all nations, listen to the Lord's message. Shout it aloud for everyone to hear, even those who live on the coasts far away. Say, ‘The Lord chased Israel's people away, but now he will bring them back. He will take care of them, like a shepherd who takes care of his sheep.’ Yes, the Lord will rescue Jacob's descendants. He will pay the cost to let them be free. They will no longer be under the power of people who were stronger than them. 12His people will come back to Mount Zion, and they will shout with joy. They will be very happy because of all the good things that the Lord gives to them. There will be grain to make bread, new wine and olive oil. There will be lambs and young cows. They will grow and be strong, like a garden that has plenty of water. They will not be weak or sad any more. 13The Lord says this: ‘Young women will dance because they are happy. The young men and the old men will also be happy. I will cause them to laugh instead of weep. I will comfort them, so that they are happy instead of sad.
