    the Lord appeared to him[a] from far away.[b]
I have loved you with an everlasting love;
    therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.(A)
Again I will build you, and you shall be built,
    O virgin Israel!
Again you shall adorn yourself with your tambourines
    and go forth in the dance of the merrymakers.(B)
Again you shall plant vineyards
    on the mountains of Samaria;
the planters shall plant
    and shall enjoy the fruit.(C)
For there shall be a day when sentinels will call
    in the hill country of Ephraim:
“Come, let us go up to Zion,
    to the Lord our God.”(D)

For thus says the Lord:
Sing aloud with gladness for Jacob,
    and raise shouts for the chief of the nations;
proclaim, give praise, and say,
    “Save, O Lord, your people,
    the remnant of Israel.”(E)
See, I am going to bring them from the land of the north
    and gather them from the farthest parts of the earth,
among them the blind and the lame,
    those with child and those in labor together;
    a great company, they shall return here.(F)
With weeping they shall come,
    and with consolations[c] I will lead them back;
I will let them walk by brooks of water,
    in a straight path where they shall not stumble,
for I have become a father to Israel,
    and Ephraim is my firstborn.(G)

10 Hear the word of the Lord, O nations,
    and declare it in the coastlands far away;
say, “He who scattered Israel will gather him
    and will keep him as a shepherd does a flock.”(H)
11 For the Lord has ransomed Jacob
    and has redeemed him from hands too strong for him.(I)
12 They shall come and sing aloud on the height of Zion,
    and they shall be radiant over the goodness of the Lord,
over the grain, the wine, and the oil,
    and over the young of the flock and the herd;
their life shall become like a watered garden,
    and they shall never languish again.(J)

  1. 31.3 Gk: Heb me
  2. 31.3 Or to him long ago
  3. 31.9 Gk: Heb supplications

The Lord appeared to us in the past,[a] saying:

“I have loved(A) you with an everlasting love;
    I have drawn(B) you with unfailing kindness.
I will build you up again,
    and you, Virgin(C) Israel, will be rebuilt.(D)
Again you will take up your timbrels(E)
    and go out to dance(F) with the joyful.(G)
Again you will plant(H) vineyards
    on the hills of Samaria;(I)
the farmers will plant them
    and enjoy their fruit.(J)
There will be a day when watchmen(K) cry out
    on the hills of Ephraim,
‘Come, let us go up to Zion,
    to the Lord our God.’”(L)

This is what the Lord says:

“Sing(M) with joy for Jacob;
    shout for the foremost(N) of the nations.
Make your praises heard, and say,
    Lord, save(O) your people,
    the remnant(P) of Israel.’
See, I will bring them from the land of the north(Q)
    and gather(R) them from the ends of the earth.
Among them will be the blind(S) and the lame,(T)
    expectant mothers and women in labor;
    a great throng will return.
They will come with weeping;(U)
    they will pray as I bring them back.
I will lead(V) them beside streams of water(W)
    on a level(X) path where they will not stumble,
because I am Israel’s father,(Y)
    and Ephraim is my firstborn son.

10 “Hear the word of the Lord, you nations;
    proclaim it in distant coastlands:(Z)
‘He who scattered(AA) Israel will gather(AB) them
    and will watch over his flock like a shepherd.’(AC)
11 For the Lord will deliver Jacob
    and redeem(AD) them from the hand of those stronger(AE) than they.
12 They will come and shout for joy(AF) on the heights(AG) of Zion;
    they will rejoice in the bounty(AH) of the Lord
the grain, the new wine and the olive oil,(AI)
    the young of the flocks(AJ) and herds.
They will be like a well-watered garden,(AK)
    and they will sorrow(AL) no more.
