Jeremiah 31:5-12

5Again you will 1plant vineyards On the 2hills of Samaria; The planters will plant And will 3enjoy them.6For there will be a day when watchmen On the hills of Ephraim call out, ‘Arise, and 4let us go up to Zion, To the Lord our God.’”

7For thus says the Lord, “5Sing aloud with gladness for Jacob, And shout among the 6 7chief of the nations; Proclaim, give praise and say, ‘O Lord, 8save Your people, The 9remnant of Israel.’8Behold, I am 10bringing them from the north country, And I will 11gather them from the remote parts of the earth, Among them the 12blind and the 13lame, The woman with child and she who is in labor with child, together; A great 14company, they will return here.9 15With weeping they will come, And by supplication I will lead them; I will make them walk by 16streams of waters, On a straight path in which they will 17not stumble; For I am a 18father to Israel, And Ephraim is 19My firstborn.”

10Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, And declare in the 20coastlands afar off, And say, “He who scattered Israel will 21gather him And keep him as a 22shepherd keeps his flock.”11For the Lord has 23ransomed Jacob And redeemed him from the hand of him who was 24stronger than he.12“They will 25come and shout for joy on the 26height of Zion, And they will be 27radiant over the 28bounty of the Lord-- Over the 29grain and the new wine and the oil, And over the young of the 30flock and the herd; And their life will be like a 31watered garden, And they will 32never languish again.
