Jeremiah 31:10-17

10Hear the word of the Lord, you nations, And declare it in the 1coastlands far away, And say, “He who scattered Israel will 2gather him, And He will keep him as a 3shepherd keeps his flock.”11For the Lord has 4ransomed Jacob And redeemed him from the hand of him who was 5stronger than he.12“They will 6come and shout for joy on the 7height of Zion, And they will be 8radiant over the 9bounty of the Lord-- Over the 10grain, the new wine, the oil, And over the young of the 11flock and the herd. And their life will be like a 12watered garden, And they will 13never languish again.13Then the virgin will rejoice in the 14dance, And the young men and the old together; For I will 15turn their mourning into joy And comfort them, and give them 16joy for their sorrow.14I will refresh the soul of the priests with 17abundance, And My people will be 18satisfied with My goodness,” declares the Lord.

15This is what the Lord says: “19A voice is heard in 20Ramah, Lamenting and bitter weeping. Rachel is weeping for her children; She 21refuses to be comforted for her children, Because 22they are no more.” 16This is what the Lord says: “23Restrain your voice from weeping And your eyes from tears; For your 24work will be rewarded,” declares the Lord, “And they will 25return from the land of the enemy.17There is 26hope for your future,” declares the Lord, “And your children will return to their own territory.
