Jeremiah 31:23-36

23ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saysH559: “Once againH5750 they will speakH559 thisH2088 wordH1697 in the landH776 of JudahH3063 and in its citiesH5892 when I 1restoreH7725 their fortunesH7622, ‘The LordH3068 blessH1288 you, O 2placeH5116 of righteousnessH6664, O 3holyH6944 hillH2022!’ 24JudahH3063 and allH3605 its citiesH5892 will 4liveH3427 togetherH3164 in it, the farmersH406 and those who travelH5265 with flocksH5739. 255For I giveH7301 plentyH7301 ofH7301 waterH7301 to the wearyH5889 onesH5315, and 6refreshH4390 everyoneH3605 who languishesH1669.” 26At thisH2088 I 7awokeH7019 and lookedH7200, and my 8sleepH8142 had been pleasantH6149 to me.

27“BeholdH2009, daysH3117 are comingH935,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “when I will 9sowH2232 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 with the seedH2233 of mankindH120 and the seedH2233 of animalsH929. 28And justH3512 asH3512 I have 10watchedH8245 overH5921 them to 11uprootH5428 them, tearH5422 them downH5422, ruinH2040, destroyH6, and bringH7489 disasterH7489 on them, soH3651 I will watchH8245 overH5921 them to 12buildH1129 and to plantH5193 them,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.29“In thoseH1992 daysH3117 they will noH3808 longerH5750 sayH559, ‘13The fathersH1 have eatenH398 sourH1155 grapesH1155, 14But it is the children’sH1121 teethH8127 that have becomeH6949 bluntH6949.’ 30But 15everyoneH376 will dieH4191 for his own wrongdoingH5771; eachH3605 personH120 who eatsH398 the sourH1155 grapesH1155, his own teethH8127 will becomeH6949 bluntH6949.

31“16BeholdH2009, daysH3117 are comingH935,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “when I will makeH3772 a 17newH2319 covenantH1285 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, 32not like the 18covenantH1285 whichH834 I madeH3772 with their fathersH1 on the dayH3117 I 19tookH2388 them by the handH3027 to bringH3318 them outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, My 20covenantH1285 whichH834 they brokeH6565, although I wasH1166 aH1166 husbandH1166 to them,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. 33“For 21thisH2088 is the covenantH1285 whichH834 I will makeH3772 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 afterH310 thoseH1992 daysH3117,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068: “22I will putH5414 My lawH8451 withinH7130 them and writeH3789 it on their heartH3820; and 23I will be their GodH430, and they shall be My peopleH5971. 34They will 24not teachH3925 againH5750, eachH376 oneH376 his neighborH7453 and eachH376 oneH376 his brotherH251, sayingH559, ‘KnowH3045 the LordH3068,’ for they will allH3605 25knowH3045 Me, from the leastH6996 of them to the greatestH1419 of them,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “for I will 26forgiveH5545 their wrongdoingH5771, and their 27sinH2403 I will noH3808 longerH5750 rememberH2142.”

35ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559, He who 28givesH5414 the sunH8121 for lightH216 by dayH3119 And the 29fixedH2708 orderH2708 of the moonH3394 and the starsH3556 for lightH216 by nightH3915, Who 30stirsH7280 up the seaH3220 so that its wavesH1530 roarH1993-- 31The LordH3068 of armiesH6635 is His nameH8034:36“32IfH518 33thisH428 fixedH2706 orderH2706 departsH4185 From Me,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “Then the descendantsH2233 of IsraelH3478 alsoH1571 will 34ceaseH7673 To beH1961 a nationH1471 beforeH6440 Me 35foreverH3605H3117.”
