Jeremiah 31:7-9

7For thus saith Yhwh; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O Yhwh, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.

8Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither.

9They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.1
