Jeremiah 31:7-14

7For thus says the Lord, “1Sing aloud with gladness for Jacob, And shout among the 2 3chief of the nations; Proclaim, give praise and say, ‘O Lord, 4save Your people, The 5remnant of Israel.’8Behold, I am 6bringing them from the north country, And I will 7gather them from the remote parts of the earth, Among them the 8blind and the 9lame, The woman with child and she who is in labor with child, together; A great 10company, they will return here.9 11With weeping they will come, And by supplication I will lead them; I will make them walk by 12streams of waters, On a straight path in which they will 13not stumble; For I am a 14father to Israel, And Ephraim is 15My firstborn.”

10Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, And declare in the 16coastlands afar off, And say, “He who scattered Israel will 17gather him And keep him as a 18shepherd keeps his flock.”11For the Lord has 19ransomed Jacob And redeemed him from the hand of him who was 20stronger than he.12“They will 21come and shout for joy on the 22height of Zion, And they will be 23radiant over the 24bounty of the Lord-- Over the 25grain and the new wine and the oil, And over the young of the 26flock and the herd; And their life will be like a 27watered garden, And they will 28never languish again.13Then the virgin will rejoice in the 29dance, And the young men and the old, together, For I will 30turn their mourning into joy And will comfort them and give them 31joy for their sorrow.14I will 32fill the soul of the priests with 33abundance, And My people will be 34satisfied with My goodness,” declares the Lord.
