Jeremiah 31:1-17

1“At that time,” declares the Lord, “I will be the 1God of all the 2families of Israel, and they shall be My people.”

2Thus says the Lord, “The people who survived the sword 3Found grace in the wilderness-- Israel, when it went to 4find its rest.”3The Lord appeared to 5him from afar, saying, “I have 6loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore I have drawn you with 7lovingkindness.48Again I will build you and you will be rebuilt, O virgin of Israel! Again you will 9take up your 10tambourines, And go forth to the dances of the 11merrymakers.5Again you will 12plant vineyards On the 13hills of Samaria; The planters will plant And will 14enjoy them.6For there will be a day when watchmen On the hills of Ephraim call out, ‘Arise, and 15let us go up to Zion, To the Lord our God.’”

7For thus says the Lord, “16Sing aloud with gladness for Jacob, And shout among the 1718chief of the nations; Proclaim, give praise and say, ‘O Lord, 19save Your people, The 20remnant of Israel.’8Behold, I am 21bringing them from the north country, And I will 22gather them from the remote parts of the earth, Among them the 23blind and the 24lame, The woman with child and she who is in labor with child, together; A great 25company, they will return here.926With weeping they will come, And by supplication I will lead them; I will make them walk by 27streams of waters, On a straight path in which they will 28not stumble; For I am a 29father to Israel, And Ephraim is 30My firstborn.”

10Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, And declare in the 31coastlands afar off, And say, “He who scattered Israel will 32gather him And keep him as a 33shepherd keeps his flock.”11For the Lord has 34ransomed Jacob And redeemed him from the hand of him who was 35stronger than he.12“They will 36come and shout for joy on the 37height of Zion, And they will be 38radiant over the 39bounty of the Lord-- Over the 40grain and the new wine and the oil, And over the young of the 41flock and the herd; And their life will be like a 42watered garden, And they will 43never languish again.13Then the virgin will rejoice in the 44dance, And the young men and the old, together, For I will 45turn their mourning into joy And will comfort them and give them 46joy for their sorrow.14I will 47fill the soul of the priests with 48abundance, And My people will be 49satisfied with My goodness,” declares the Lord.

15Thus says the Lord, “50A voice is heard in 51Ramah, Lamentation and bitter weeping. Rachel is weeping for her children; She 52refuses to be comforted for her children, Because 53they are no more.” 16Thus says the Lord, “54Restrain your voice from weeping And your eyes from tears; For your 55work will be rewarded,” declares the Lord, “And they will 56return from the land of the enemy.17There is 57hope for your future,” declares the Lord, “And your children will return to their own territory.
