Jeremiah 31:7-14

7For this is what the Lord says: “1Sing aloud with joy for Jacob, And be joyful with the 2 3chief of the nations; Proclaim, give praise, and say, ‘Lord, 4save Your people, The 5remnant of Israel!’8Behold, I am 6bringing them from the north country, And I will 7gather them from the remote parts of the earth, Among them those who are 8blind and those who 9limp, The pregnant woman and she who is in labor, together; They will return here as a great assembly.9 10They will come with weeping, And by pleading I will bring them; I will lead them by 11streams of waters, On a straight path on which they will 12not stumble; For I am a 13father to Israel, And Ephraim is 14My firstborn.”

10Hear the word of the Lord, you nations, And declare it in the 15coastlands far away, And say, “He who scattered Israel will 16gather him, And He will keep him as a 17shepherd keeps his flock.”11For the Lord has 18ransomed Jacob And redeemed him from the hand of him who was 19stronger than he.12“They will 20come and shout for joy on the 21height of Zion, And they will be 22radiant over the 23bounty of the Lord-- Over the 24grain, the new wine, the oil, And over the young of the 25flock and the herd. And their life will be like a 26watered garden, And they will 27never languish again.13Then the virgin will rejoice in the 28dance, And the young men and the old together; For I will 29turn their mourning into joy And comfort them, and give them 30joy for their sorrow.14I will refresh the soul of the priests with 31abundance, And My people will be 32satisfied with My goodness,” declares the Lord.
