Jeremiah 31:1-9

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.4 9I 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 18 19chief 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.9 26They 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.”
