Jeremiah 31:3-12
New King James Version
3 The Lord has appeared [a]of old to me, saying:
“Yes, (A)I have loved you with (B)an everlasting love;
Therefore with lovingkindness I have (C)drawn you.
4 Again (D)I will build you, and you shall be rebuilt,
O virgin of Israel!
You shall again be adorned with your (E)tambourines,
And shall go forth in the dances of those who rejoice.
5 (F)You shall yet plant vines on the mountains of Samaria;
The planters shall plant and [b]eat them as ordinary food.
6 For there shall be a day
When the watchmen will cry on Mount Ephraim,
(G)‘Arise, and let us go up to Zion,
To the Lord our God.’ ”
7 For thus says the Lord:
(H)“Sing with gladness for Jacob,
And shout among the chief of the nations;
Proclaim, give praise, and say,
‘O Lord, save Your people,
The remnant of Israel!’
8 Behold, I will bring them (I)from the north country,
And (J)gather them from the ends of the earth,
Among them the blind and the lame,
The woman with child
And the one who labors with child, together;
A great throng shall return there.
9 (K)They shall come with weeping,
And with supplications I will lead them.
I will cause them to walk (L)by the rivers of waters,
In a straight way in which they shall not stumble;
For I am a Father to Israel,
And Ephraim is My (M)firstborn.
10 “Hear the word of the Lord, O nations,
And declare it in the [c]isles afar off, and say,
‘He who scattered Israel (N)will gather him,
And keep him as a shepherd does his flock.’
11 For (O)the Lord has redeemed Jacob,
And ransomed him (P)from the hand of one stronger than he.
12 Therefore they shall come and sing in (Q)the height of Zion,
Streaming to (R)the goodness of the Lord—
For wheat and new wine and oil,
For the young of the flock and the herd;
Their souls shall be like a (S)well-watered garden,
(T)And they shall sorrow no more at all.
