Jeremiah 31:5-12

5Again you will 1plant vineyards On the 2hills of Samaria; The planters will plant And will 3enjoy the fruit.6For there will be a day when watchmen On the hills of Ephraim call out, ‘Arise, and 4let’s go up to Zion, To the Lord our God.’”

7For this is what the Lord says: “5Sing aloud with joy for Jacob, And be joyful with the 6 7chief of the nations; Proclaim, give praise, and say, ‘Lord, 8save Your people, The 9remnant of Israel!’8Behold, I am 10bringing them from the north country, And I will 11gather them from the remote parts of the earth, Among them those who are 12blind and those who 13limp, The pregnant woman and she who is in labor, together; They will return here as a great assembly.9 14They will come with weeping, And by pleading I will bring them; I will lead them by 15streams of waters, On a straight path on which they will 16not stumble; For I am a 17father to Israel, And Ephraim is 18My firstborn.”

10Hear the word of the Lord, you nations, And declare it in the 19coastlands far away, And say, “He who scattered Israel will 20gather him, And He will keep him as a 21shepherd keeps his flock.”11For the Lord has 22ransomed Jacob And redeemed him from the hand of him who was 23stronger than he.12“They will 24come and shout for joy on the 25height of Zion, And they will be 26radiant over the 27bounty of the Lord-- Over the 28grain, the new wine, the oil, And over the young of the 29flock and the herd. And their life will be like a 30watered garden, And they will 31never languish again.
