Jeremiah 31:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶There will be a day when those on guard duty will cry out.
    They will stand on the hills of Ephraim.
    And they will shout,
‘Come! Let’s go up to Zion.
    Let’s go up to where the Lord our God is.’ ”

⁷The Lord says,

“Sing for joy because the people of Jacob are blessed.
    Shout because the Lord has made them the greatest nation.
Make your praises heard.
    Say, ‘Lord, save your people.
    Save the people who are left alive in Israel.’
⁸I will bring them from the land of the north.
    I will gather them from one end of the earth to the other.
Even those who are blind and those who can’t walk
    will be among them.
Pregnant women and women having their babies
    will be among them also.
    Many of them will return.
