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.”

2This is what the Lord says: “The people who survived the sword 3Found grace in the wilderness-- Israel, when it went to 4find its rest.”3The Lord appeared to 5him 6long ago, saying, “I have 7loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore I have drawn you out with 8kindness.49I will build you again and you will be rebuilt, Virgin of Israel! You will 10take up your 11tambourines again, And go out to the dances of the 12revelers.5Again you will 13plant vineyards On the 14hills of Samaria; The planters will plant And will 15enjoy the fruit.6For there will be a day when watchmen On the hills of Ephraim call out, ‘Arise, and 16let’s go up to Zion, To the Lord our God.’”

7For this is what the Lord says: “17Sing aloud with joy for Jacob, And be joyful with the 1819chief of the nations; Proclaim, give praise, and say, ‘Lord, 20save Your people, The 21remnant of Israel!’8Behold, I am 22bringing them from the north country, And I will 23gather them from the remote parts of the earth, Among them those who are 24blind and those who 25limp, The pregnant woman and she who is in labor, together; They will return here as a great assembly.926They will come with weeping, And by pleading I will bring them; I will lead them by 27streams of waters, On a straight path on which they will 28not stumble; For I am a 29father to Israel, And Ephraim is 30My firstborn.”

10Hear the word of the Lord, you nations, And declare it in the 31coastlands far away, And say, “He who scattered Israel will 32gather him, And He will 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, the new wine, 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 comfort them, and give them 46joy for their sorrow.14I will refresh the soul of the priests with 47abundance, And My people will be 48satisfied with My goodness,” declares the Lord.

15This is what the Lord says: “49A voice is heard in 50Ramah, Lamenting and bitter weeping. Rachel is weeping for her children; She 51refuses to be comforted for her children, Because 52they are no more.” 16This is what the Lord says: “53Restrain your voice from weeping And your eyes from tears; For your 54work will be rewarded,” declares the Lord, “And they will 55return from the land of the enemy.17There is 56hope for your future,” declares the Lord, “And your children will return to their own territory.
