Jeremiah 31:12-14
Tree of Life Version
12 Then will the virgin rejoice in the dance,
both young men and old men together.
For I will turn their mourning into joy,
and I will comfort them, and make them rejoice out of their sorrow.
13 I will fill the soul of the kohanim with fatness
and My people will be satisfied with My goodness.”
It is a declaration of Adonai.
Grief Turned to Joy
14 Thus says Adonai:
“A voice is heard in Ramah
—lamentation and bitter weeping—
Rachel weeping for her children,
refusing to be comforted for her children,
because they are no more.”[a]

Jeremiah 31:12-14
New International Version
12 They will come and shout for joy(A) on the heights(B) of Zion;
they will rejoice in the bounty(C) of the Lord—
the grain, the new wine and the olive oil,(D)
the young of the flocks(E) and herds.
They will be like a well-watered garden,(F)
and they will sorrow(G) no more.
13 Then young women will dance and be glad,
young men and old as well.
I will turn their mourning(H) into gladness;
I will give them comfort(I) and joy(J) instead of sorrow.
14 I will satisfy(K) the priests(L) with abundance,
and my people will be filled with my bounty,(M)”
declares the Lord.
