Jeremiah 31

1At that time, saith the LORDH3068, will I be the GodH430 of allH3605 the familiesH4940 of IsraelH3478, and they shall be my peopleH5971. 2ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, The peopleH5971 whichH2719 were leftH1980 of the swordH2719 foundH4672 graceH2580 in the wildernessH4057; evenH3541 IsraelH3478, when I wentH1980 to cause him to restH7280. 3The LORDH3068 appearedH7200 of oldH5769 unto meH5921, saying, Yea, I have lovedH157 thee with an everlastingH5769 loveH157: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawnH4900 thee. 4AgainH5750 will I buildH1129 thee, and thou shalt be builtH1129, O virginH1330 of IsraelH3478: againH5750 shalt thou be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt goH3318 forthH3318 in the dancesH4234 of them that make merry. 5AgainH5750 shalt thou plantH5193 vineyardsH3754 upon the mountainsH2022 of SamariaH8111: the plantersH5193 shall plantH5193, and shall enjoy the fruit thereof. 6For there shall be a dayH3117, that the watchmenH5341 uponH7121 the hillsH2022 of EphraimH669 shall cryH7121, AriseH6965 ye, and let usH413 goH5927 upH5927 to ZionH6726 unto the LORDH3068 our GodH430. 7For thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, SingH7442 with gladnessH8057 for JacobH3290, and shoutH7442 for the chiefH7218 of the nationsH1471: publish ye, praiseH1984 ye, and sayH559, O LORDH3068, saveH3467 thy peopleH5971, the remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478. 8BeholdH2005, I will bringH935 them from the northH6828 countryH776, and gatherH6908 them from the uttermost partsH3411 of the earthH776, and with them the blindH5787 and the lameH6455, the womanH2030 with childH2030 and herH935 that travaileth with childH2030 togetherH3162: a greatH1419 companyH6951 shall they returnH7725 hither. 9They shall comeH935 with weepingH1065, and with supplicationsH8469 will I leadH413 them: I will causeH1961 them to walkH1870 by rivers of watersH4325, in a straightH3477 wayH1870 wherein they shall notH3808 stumbleH3782: for I am a fatherH1 to IsraelH3478, and EphraimH669 is my firstbornH1060. 10HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, O ye nationsH1471, and declareH5046 it in the islesH339 afarH4801 offH4801; and sayH559, He that scatteredH2219 IsraelH3478 will gatherH6908 him, and keepH8104 him, as a shepherdH7462 doth his flockH5739. 11For the LORDH3068 hath ransomedH6299 JacobH3290, and redeemedH1350 him from the handH3027 of him that was strongerH2389 thanH4480 he. 12And they shall comeH935 and singH7442 in the heightH4791 of ZionH6726, and shall flowH935 togetherH5921 unto the goodnessH2898 of the LORDH3068, to the corn, and to the wineH8492, and to the oilH3323, and to the youngH1121 of the flockH6629 and of the herdH1241: and their soulH5315 shall be as a wateredH7302 gardenH1588; and they shall notH3808 sorrowH5921 anyH5750 moreH5750 at allH5750. 13Then shall the virginH1330 rejoiceH8055 in the danceH4234, and the youngH970 menH970 and the oldH2205 togetherH3162: for I will turnH2015 their mourningH60 intoH2015 joyH8342, and will comfortH5162 them, and makeH8055 them rejoiceH8055 from their sorrowH3015. 14And I will satiate the soulH5315 of the priestsH3548 with fatnessH1880, and my peopleH5971 shall be satisfiedH7646 with my goodnessH2898, saith the LORDH3068. 15ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068: A voiceH6963 is heardH8085 in RamahH7414, lamentationH5092, and bitterH8563 weepingH1065, RachelH7354 weepingH1065 for herH5921 childrenH1121; sheH3588 refuseth to be comfortedH5162 for herH5921 childrenH1121, becauseH3588 they are notH369. 16ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068: Refrain thy voiceH6963 from weepingH1065, and thine eyesH5869 from tearsH1832: for thy workH6468 shall be rewardedH7939, saith the LORDH3068; and they shall comeH7725 againH7725 from the landH776 of the enemyH341. 17And there is hopeH8615 for thy latterH319 endH319, saith the LORDH3068; and thy childrenH1121 shall comeH7725 againH7725 to their own borderH1366. 18I have surelyH3588 heardH8085 EphraimH669 bemoaning himselfH3808 thusH8085, Thou hast chastisedH3256 meH7725, and I was chastisedH3256, as a calfH5695 unaccustomed to the yoke: turnH7725 thou meH7725, and I shall be turnedH7725; for thou art the LORDH3068 my GodH430. 19SurelyH3588 afterH310 that I was turnedH7725, I repentedH5162; and afterH310 that I was instructedH3045, I smoteH5606 uponH5921 my thighH3409: I was ashamedH954, yeaH3588, evenH1571 confoundedH3637, becauseH3588 I did bearH5375 the reproachH2781 of my youthH5271. 20Is EphraimH669 my dearH3357 sonH1121? is he a pleasant childH3206? for as oftenH1767 as I speakH1696 againstH5921 him, I doH518 earnestly rememberH2142 him stillH5750: therefore my bowelsH4578 are troubled for him; I will surelyH3588 have mercyH7355 uponH5921 him, saith the LORDH3068. 21SetH7760 thee upH5324 waymarks, makeH7760 thee guide-posts: setH7760 thine heartH3820 towardH413 the highwayH4546, even the wayH1870 by whichH428 thou wentest: turnH7725 againH7725, O virginH1330 of IsraelH3478, turnH7725 againH7725 to theseH428 thy citiesH5892. 22HowH4970 longH5704 wilt thou goH5437 hither and thither, O thou backslidingH7728 daughterH1323? for the LORDH3068 hath createdH1254 a newH2319 thingH3588 in the earthH776, A womanH1323 shall encompassH5437 a manH1397. 23ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: Yet againH5750 shall they use this speechH1697 in the landH776 of JudahH3063 and in the citiesH5892 thereof, when I shall bringH7725 againH5750 their captivityH7622: The LORDH3068 blessH1288 thee, O habitation of justiceH6664, O mountainH2022 of holinessH6944. 24And JudahH3063 and allH3605 the citiesH5892 thereof shall dwellH3427 therein togetherH3162; the husbandmen, and they that goH5265 aboutH3605 with flocksH5739. 25For I have satiatedH7301 the wearyH5889 soulH5315, and everyH3605 sorrowful soulH5315 have I replenished. 26UponH5921 this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleepH8142 was sweetH6149 unto meH5921. 27BeholdH2009, the daysH3117 comeH935, saith the LORDH3068, that I will sowH2232 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 with the seedH2233 of manH120, and with the seedH2233 of beastH929. 28And it shall comeH1961 to passH1961, that like as I have watchedH8245 over them to pluckH5428 upH5921 and to breakH2040 downH5422, and to overthrowH2040 and to destroyH6, and to afflict; soH3651 will I watchH8245 over them to buildH1129 and to plantH5193, saith the LORDH3068. 29In thoseH1992 daysH3117 they shall sayH559 noH3808 moreH5750, The fathersH1 have eatenH398 sourH1155 grapesH1155, and the children’sH1121 teethH8127 are set on edge. 30But everyH3605 one shall dieH4191 for his ownH376 iniquityH5771: everyH3605 manH376 that eateth the sourH1155 grapesH1155, his teethH8127 shall be set on edge. 31BeholdH2009, the daysH3117 comeH935, saith the LORDH3068, that I will makeH3772 a newH2319 covenantH1285 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and with the houseH1004 of JudahH3063: 32notH3808 accordingH3027 to the covenantH1285 that I madeH3772 with their fathersH1 in the dayH3117 that I tookH3318 them by the handH3027 to bringH3318 them outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714; whichH834 my covenantH1285 they brake, althoughH3808 I was an husbandH1166 unto them, saith the LORDH3068. 33But this is the covenantH1285 that I will makeH5414 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 afterH310 thoseH834 daysH3117, saith the LORDH3068; I will putH5414 my lawH8451 in their inwardH1004 parts, and in their heartH3820 will I writeH3789 it; and I will be their GodH430, and they shall be my peopleH5971: 34and they shall teachH3925 noH3808 moreH5750 everyH3605 manH376 his neighbour, and everyH3605 manH376 his brotherH251, sayingH559, KnowH3045 the LORDH3068: for they shall allH3605 knowH3045 meH3925, from the least of them unto the greatestH1419 of them, saith the LORDH3068: for I will forgiveH5545 their iniquityH5771, and their sinH2403 will I rememberH2142 noH3808 moreH5750. 35ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, whichH2708 giveth the sunH8121 for a lightH216 by dayH3119, and the ordinancesH2708 of the moonH3394 and of the starsH3556 for a lightH216 by nightH3915, whichH2708 stirreth upH5414 the seaH3220, that the wavesH1530 thereof roarH1993; the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034: 36IfH518 theseH428 ordinances departH4185 from beforeH6440 meH6440, saith the LORDH3068, then the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478 also shall ceaseH7673 from beingH1961 a nationH1471 beforeH6440 meH6440 for ever. 37ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068: IfH518 heavenH8064 aboveH5921 canH518 be measuredH4058, and the foundationsH4146 of the earthH776 searchedH2713 outH5921 beneathH4295, then will I also cast offH5921 allH3605 the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478 for allH3605 that they have doneH6213, saith the LORDH3068. 38BeholdH2009, the daysH3117 come, saith the LORDH3068, that the cityH5892 shall be builtH1129 to the LORDH3068 from the towerH4026 of HananelH2606 unto the gateH8179 of the cornerH6438. 39And the measuringH4060 line shall yet goH3318 outH3318 straightH5048 onward unto the hillH1389 GarebH1619, and shall turnH5437 aboutH5921 unto GoahH1601. 40And the wholeH3605 valleyH6010 of the deadH6297 bodiesH6297, and of the ashesH1880, and allH3605 the fields unto the brookH5158 KidronH6939, unto the cornerH6438 of the horseH5483 gateH8179 towardH5704 the eastH4217, shall be holyH6944 unto the LORDH3068; it shall notH3808 be pluckedH5428 upH5704, norH3808 thrownH2040 downH2040 anyH3605 moreH5750 for everH5769.
