Jeremiah 31:6-14

6For there will be a day when watchmen On the hills of Ephraim call out, ‘Arise, and 1let’s go up to Zion, To the Lord our God.’”

7For this is what the Lord says: “2Sing aloud with joy for Jacob, And be joyful with the 3 4chief of the nations; Proclaim, give praise, and say, ‘Lord, 5save Your people, The 6remnant of Israel!’8Behold, I am 7bringing them from the north country, And I will 8gather them from the remote parts of the earth, Among them those who are 9blind and those who 10limp, The pregnant woman and she who is in labor, together; They will return here as a great assembly.9 11They will come with weeping, And by pleading I will bring them; I will lead them by 12streams of waters, On a straight path on which they will 13not stumble; For I am a 14father to Israel, And Ephraim is 15My firstborn.”

10Hear the word of the Lord, you nations, And declare it in the 16coastlands far away, And say, “He who scattered Israel will 17gather him, And He will keep him as a 18shepherd keeps his flock.”11For the Lord has 19ransomed Jacob And redeemed him from the hand of him who was 20stronger than he.12“They will 21come and shout for joy on the 22height of Zion, And they will be 23radiant over the 24bounty of the Lord-- Over the 25grain, the new wine, the oil, And over the young of the 26flock and the herd. And their life will be like a 27watered garden, And they will 28never languish again.13Then the virgin will rejoice in the 29dance, And the young men and the old together; For I will 30turn their mourning into joy And comfort them, and give them 31joy for their sorrow.14I will refresh the soul of the priests with 32abundance, And My people will be 33satisfied with My goodness,” declares the Lord.
