Jeremiah 31:1-17

1“At that timeH6256,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “I will be the 1GodH430 of allH3605 the 2familiesH4940 of IsraelH3478, and they shall be My peopleH5971.”

2ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “The peopleH5971 whoH8300 survivedH8300 the swordH2719 3FoundH4672 graceH2580 in the wildernessH4057-- IsraelH3478, when it wentH1980 to 4findH7280 its restH7280.”3The LordH3068 appearedH7200 to 5him from afarH7350, saying, “I have 6lovedH157 you with an everlastingH5769 loveH160; ThereforeH5921H3651 I have drawnH4900 you with 7lovingkindnessH2617.48AgainH5750 I will buildH1129 you and you will be rebuiltH1129, O virginH1330 of IsraelH3478! AgainH5750 you will 9takeH5710 up your 10tambourinesH8596, And goH3318 forthH3318 to the dancesH4234 of the 11merrymakersH7832.5AgainH5750 you will 12plantH5193 vineyardsH3754 On the 13hillsH2022 of SamariaH8111; The plantersH5193 will plantH5193 And will 14enjoyH2490 them.6For thereH3426 will be a dayH3117 when watchmenH5341 On the hillsH2022 of EphraimH669 callH7121 out, ‘AriseH6965, and 15let us goH5927 up to ZionH6726, To the LordH3068 our GodH430.’”

7For thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “16SingH7442 aloudH7442 with gladnessH8057 for JacobH3290, And shoutH6670 among the 1718chiefH7218 of the nationsH1471; ProclaimH8085, giveH1984 praiseH1984 and sayH559, ‘O LordH3068, 19saveH3467 Your peopleH5971, The 20remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478.’8BeholdH2009, I am 21bringingH935 them from the northH6828 countryH776, And I will 22gatherH6908 them from the remoteH3411 partsH3411 of the earthH776, Among them the 23blindH5787 and the 24lameH6455, The womanH2030 with childH2030 and she who is in laborH3205 with child, togetherH3164; A greatH1419 25companyH6951, they will returnH7725 hereH2008.926With weepingH1065 they will comeH935, And by supplicationH8469 I will leadH2986 them; I will make them walkH1980 by 27streamsH5158 of watersH4325, On a straightH3477 pathH1870 in which they will 28not stumbleH3782; For I amH1961 a 29fatherH1 to IsraelH3478, And EphraimH669 is 30My firstbornH1060.”

10HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, O nationsH1471, And declareH5046 in the 31coastlandsH339 afarH4801 offH4801, And sayH559, “He who scatteredH2219 IsraelH3478 will 32gatherH6908 him And keepH8104 him as a 33shepherdH7462 keeps his flockH5739.”11For the LordH3068 has 34ransomedH6299 JacobH3290 And redeemedH1350 him from the handH3027 of him whoH2389 was 35strongerH2389 thanH4480 he.12“They will 36comeH935 and shoutH7442 for joyH7442 on the 37heightH4791 of ZionH6726, And they will be 38radiantH5102 overH413 the 39bountyH2898 of the LordH3068-- OverH5921 the 40grainH1715 and the newH8492 wineH8492 and the oilH3323, And overH5921 the youngH1121 of the 41flockH6629 and the herdH1241; And their lifeH5315 will be like a 42wateredH7302 gardenH1588, And they will 43neverH3808H5750 languishH1669 againH3254.13ThenH227 the virginH1330 will rejoiceH8055 in the 44danceH4234, And the youngH970 menH970 and the oldH2205, togetherH3164, For I will 45turnH2015 their mourningH60 into joyH8342 And will comfortH5162 them and giveH8055 them 46joyH8055 for their sorrowH3015.14I will 47fillH7301 the soulH5315 of the priestsH3548 with 48abundanceH1880, And My peopleH5971 will be 49satisfiedH7646 with My goodnessH2898,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.

15ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “50A voiceH6963 is heardH8085 in 51RamahH7414, LamentationH5092 and bitterH8563 weepingH1065. RachelH7354 is weepingH1065 for her childrenH1121; She 52refusesH3985 to be comfortedH5162 for her childrenH1121, BecauseH3588 53they are noH369 moreH369.” 16ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “54RestrainH4513 your voiceH6963 from weepingH1065 And your eyesH5869 from tearsH1832; For your 55workH6468 will be rewardedH7939,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “And they will 56returnH7725 from the landH776 of the enemyH340.17ThereH3426 is 57hopeH8615 for your futureH319,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “And your childrenH1121 will returnH7725 to their own territoryH1366.
