The Message
Jeremiah 31:7-9
The Message
7 Oh yes, God says so:
“Shout for joy at the top of your lungs for Jacob!
Announce the good news to the number-one nation!
Raise cheers! Sing praises. Say,
‘God has saved his people,
saved the core of Israel.’
8 “Watch what comes next:
“I’ll bring my people back
from the north country
And gather them up from the ends of the earth,
gather those who’ve gone blind
And those who are lame and limping,
gather pregnant women,
Even the mothers whose birth pangs have started,
bring them all back, a huge crowd!
9 “Watch them come! They’ll come weeping for joy
as I take their hands and lead them,
Lead them to fresh flowing brooks,
lead them along smooth, uncluttered paths.
Yes, it’s because I’m Israel’s Father
and Ephraim’s my firstborn son!

Jeremiah 31:7-9
New International Version
7 This is what the Lord says:
“Sing(A) with joy for Jacob;
shout for the foremost(B) of the nations.
Make your praises heard, and say,
‘Lord, save(C) your people,
the remnant(D) of Israel.’
8 See, I will bring them from the land of the north(E)
and gather(F) them from the ends of the earth.
Among them will be the blind(G) and the lame,(H)
expectant mothers and women in labor;
a great throng will return.
9 They will come with weeping;(I)
they will pray as I bring them back.
I will lead(J) them beside streams of water(K)
on a level(L) path where they will not stumble,
because I am Israel’s father,(M)
and Ephraim is my firstborn son.
The Message (MSG)
