Jeremiah 31:2-22

2This is what the Lord says: “The people who survived the sword 1Found grace in the wilderness-- Israel, when it went to 2find its rest.”3The Lord appeared to 3him 4long ago, saying, “I have 5loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore I have drawn you out with 6kindness.47I will build you again and you will be rebuilt, Virgin of Israel! You will 8take up your 9tambourines again, And go out to the dances of the 10revelers.5Again you will 11plant vineyards On the 12hills of Samaria; The planters will plant And will 13enjoy the fruit.6For there will be a day when watchmen On the hills of Ephraim call out, ‘Arise, and 14let’s go up to Zion, To the Lord our God.’”

7For this is what the Lord says: “15Sing aloud with joy for Jacob, And be joyful with the 1617chief of the nations; Proclaim, give praise, and say, ‘Lord, 18save Your people, The 19remnant of Israel!’8Behold, I am 20bringing them from the north country, And I will 21gather them from the remote parts of the earth, Among them those who are 22blind and those who 23limp, The pregnant woman and she who is in labor, together; They will return here as a great assembly.924They will come with weeping, And by pleading I will bring them; I will lead them by 25streams of waters, On a straight path on which they will 26not stumble; For I am a 27father to Israel, And Ephraim is 28My firstborn.”

10Hear the word of the Lord, you nations, And declare it in the 29coastlands far away, And say, “He who scattered Israel will 30gather him, And He will keep him as a 31shepherd keeps his flock.”11For the Lord has 32ransomed Jacob And redeemed him from the hand of him who was 33stronger than he.12“They will 34come and shout for joy on the 35height of Zion, And they will be 36radiant over the 37bounty of the Lord-- Over the 38grain, the new wine, the oil, And over the young of the 39flock and the herd. And their life will be like a 40watered garden, And they will 41never languish again.13Then the virgin will rejoice in the 42dance, And the young men and the old together; For I will 43turn their mourning into joy And comfort them, and give them 44joy for their sorrow.14I will refresh the soul of the priests with 45abundance, And My people will be 46satisfied with My goodness,” declares the Lord.

15This is what the Lord says: “47A voice is heard in 48Ramah, Lamenting and bitter weeping. Rachel is weeping for her children; She 49refuses to be comforted for her children, Because 50they are no more.” 16This is what the Lord says: “51Restrain your voice from weeping And your eyes from tears; For your 52work will be rewarded,” declares the Lord, “And they will 53return from the land of the enemy.17There is 54hope for your future,” declares the Lord, “And your children will return to their own territory.18I have certainly heard Ephraim 55grieving, ‘You have 56disciplined me, and I was corrected, Like an untrained 57calf; 58Bring me back that I may be restored, For You are the Lord my God.19For after I turned back, I 59repented; And after I was instructed, I 6061slapped my thigh; I was 62ashamed and also humiliated Because I bore the shame of my youth.’20Is 63Ephraim My dear son? Is he a delightful child? Indeed, as often as I have spoken against him, I certainly still remember him; Therefore My 6465heart yearns for him; I will certainly 66have mercy on him,” declares the Lord.

21“Set up roadmarks for yourself, Place guideposts for yourself; 67Direct your 68mind to the highway, The way by which you went. 69Return, O virgin of Israel, Return to these your cities.22How long will you waver, You 70rebellious daughter? For the Lord has created a new thing on the earth: A woman will shelter a man.”
