Jeremiah 31:10-17

10Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, And declare in the 1coastlands afar off, And say, “He who scattered Israel will 2gather him And keep him as a 3shepherd keeps his flock.”11For the Lord has 4ransomed Jacob And redeemed him from the hand of him who was 5stronger than he.12“They will 6come and shout for joy on the 7height of Zion, And they will be 8radiant over the 9bounty of the Lord-- Over the 10grain and the new wine and the oil, And over the young of the 11flock and the herd; And their life will be like a 12watered garden, And they will 13never languish again.13Then the virgin will rejoice in the 14dance, And the young men and the old, together, For I will 15turn their mourning into joy And will comfort them and give them 16joy for their sorrow.14I will 17fill the soul of the priests with 18abundance, And My people will be 19satisfied with My goodness,” declares the Lord.

15Thus says the Lord, “20A voice is heard in 21Ramah, Lamentation and bitter weeping. Rachel is weeping for her children; She 22refuses to be comforted for her children, Because 23they are no more.” 16Thus says the Lord, “24Restrain your voice from weeping And your eyes from tears; For your 25work will be rewarded,” declares the Lord, “And they will 26return from the land of the enemy.17There is 27hope for your future,” declares the Lord, “And your children will return to their own territory.
