Jeremiah 31:8-34

8Behold, I am 1bringing them from the north country, And I will 2gather them from the remote parts of the earth, Among them those who are 3blind and those who 4limp, The pregnant woman and she who is in labor, together; They will return here as a great assembly.95They will come with weeping, And by pleading I will bring them; I will lead them by 6streams of waters, On a straight path on which they will 7not stumble; For I am a 8father to Israel, And Ephraim is 9My firstborn.”

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

15This is what the Lord says: “28A voice is heard in 29Ramah, Lamenting and bitter weeping. Rachel is weeping for her children; She 30refuses to be comforted for her children, Because 31they are no more.” 16This is what the Lord says: “32Restrain your voice from weeping And your eyes from tears; For your 33work will be rewarded,” declares the Lord, “And they will 34return from the land of the enemy.17There is 35hope for your future,” declares the Lord, “And your children will return to their own territory.18I have certainly heard Ephraim 36grieving, ‘You have 37disciplined me, and I was corrected, Like an untrained 38calf; 39Bring me back that I may be restored, For You are the Lord my God.19For after I turned back, I 40repented; And after I was instructed, I 4142slapped my thigh; I was 43ashamed and also humiliated Because I bore the shame of my youth.’20Is 44Ephraim My dear son? Is he a delightful child? Indeed, as often as I have spoken against him, I certainly still remember him; Therefore My 4546heart yearns for him; I will certainly 47have mercy on him,” declares the Lord.

21“Set up roadmarks for yourself, Place guideposts for yourself; 48Direct your 49mind to the highway, The way by which you went. 50Return, O virgin of Israel, Return to these your cities.22How long will you waver, You 51rebellious daughter? For the Lord has created a new thing on the earth: A woman will shelter a man.”

23This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: “Once again they will speak this word in the land of Judah and in its cities when I 52restore their fortunes, ‘The Lord bless you, O 53place of righteousness, O 54holy hill!’ 24Judah and all its cities will 55live together in it, the farmers and those who travel with flocks. 2556For I give plenty of water to the weary ones, and 57refresh everyone who languishes.” 26At this I 58awoke and looked, and my 59sleep had been pleasant to me.

27“Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will 60sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of mankind and the seed of animals. 28And just as I have 61watched over them to 62uproot them, tear them down, ruin, destroy, and bring disaster on them, so I will watch over them to 63build and to plant them,” declares the Lord.29“In those days they will no longer say, ‘64The fathers have eaten sour grapes, 65But it is the children’s teeth that have become blunt.’ 30But 66everyone will die for his own wrongdoing; each person who eats the sour grapes, his own teeth will become blunt.

31“67Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a 68new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32not like the 69covenant which I made with their fathers on the day I 70took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My 71covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord. 33“For 72this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the Lord: “73I will put My law within them and write it on their heart; and 74I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34They will 75not teach again, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they will all 76know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares the Lord, “for I will 77forgive their wrongdoing, and their 78sin I will no longer remember.”
