Jeremiah 31:21-23
New King James Version
21 “Set up signposts,
Make landmarks;
(A)Set your heart toward the highway,
The way in which you went.
[a]Turn back, O virgin of Israel,
Turn back to these your cities.
22 How long will you (B)gad about,
O you (C)backsliding daughter?
For the Lord has created a new thing in the earth—
A woman shall encompass a man.”
Future Prosperity of Judah
23 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “They shall again use this speech in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I bring back their captivity: (D)‘The Lord bless you, O home of justice, and (E)mountain of holiness!’
