Jeremiah 31:10-17
New International Version
Jeremiah 31:10-17
New International Version
10 “Hear the word of the Lord, you nations;
proclaim it in distant coastlands:(A)
‘He who scattered(B) Israel will gather(C) them
and will watch over his flock like a shepherd.’(D)
11 For the Lord will deliver Jacob
and redeem(E) them from the hand of those stronger(F) than they.
12 They will come and shout for joy(G) on the heights(H) of Zion;
they will rejoice in the bounty(I) of the Lord—
the grain, the new wine and the olive oil,(J)
the young of the flocks(K) and herds.
They will be like a well-watered garden,(L)
and they will sorrow(M) no more.
13 Then young women will dance and be glad,
young men and old as well.
I will turn their mourning(N) into gladness;
I will give them comfort(O) and joy(P) instead of sorrow.
14 I will satisfy(Q) the priests(R) with abundance,
and my people will be filled with my bounty,(S)”
declares the Lord.
15 This is what the Lord says:
“A voice is heard in Ramah,(T)
mourning and great weeping,
Rachel weeping for her children
and refusing to be comforted,(U)
because they are no more.”(V)
16 This is what the Lord says:

King James Version
Jeremiah 31:10-17
King James Version
10 Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.
11 For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he.
12 Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the Lord, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.
13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
14 And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the Lord.
15 Thus saith the Lord; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.
16 Thus saith the Lord; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the Lord; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.
17 And there is hope in thine end, saith the Lord, that thy children shall come again to their own border.
