Jeremiah 31:7-14
Legacy Standard Bible
7 For thus says Yahweh,
“(A)Sing aloud with gladness for Jacob,
And shout among the (B)head of the nations;
Make it heard, give praise, and say,
‘O Yahweh, (C)save Your people,
The (D)remnant of Israel.’
8 Behold, I am (E)bringing them from the north country,
And I will (F)gather them from the remote parts of the earth,
Among them the (G)blind and the (H)lame,
The woman with child and she who is in labor with child, together;
A great assembly, they will return here.
9 (I)With weeping they will come,
And by supplication I will lead them;
I will make them walk by (J)streams of waters,
On a straight path in which they will (K)not stumble;
For I am a (L)father to Israel,
And Ephraim is (M)My firstborn.”
10 Hear the word of Yahweh, O nations,
And declare in the (N)coastlands far away,
And say, “He who dispersed Israel will (O)gather him
And keep him as a (P)shepherd keeps his flock.”
11 For Yahweh has (Q)ransomed Jacob
And redeemed him from the hand of him who was (R)stronger than he.
12 “They will (S)come and sing for joy on the (T)height of Zion,
And they will be (U)radiant over the goodness of Yahweh—
Over the (V)grain and the new wine and the oil,
And over the young of the (W)flock and the herd;
And their soul will be like a (X)watered garden,
And they will (Y)never waste away again.
13 Then the virgin will be glad in the (Z)dance,
And the young men and the old, together,
For I will (AA)turn their mourning into joy
And will comfort them and give them (AB)gladness for their sorrow.
14 I will [a]fill the soul of the priests with [b]richness,
And My people will be (AC)satisfied with My goodness,” declares Yahweh.

Jeremiah 31:7-14
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.
10 “Hear the word of the Lord, you nations;
proclaim it in distant coastlands:(N)
‘He who scattered(O) Israel will gather(P) them
and will watch over his flock like a shepherd.’(Q)
11 For the Lord will deliver Jacob
and redeem(R) them from the hand of those stronger(S) than they.
12 They will come and shout for joy(T) on the heights(U) of Zion;
they will rejoice in the bounty(V) of the Lord—
the grain, the new wine and the olive oil,(W)
the young of the flocks(X) and herds.
They will be like a well-watered garden,(Y)
and they will sorrow(Z) no more.
13 Then young women will dance and be glad,
young men and old as well.
I will turn their mourning(AA) into gladness;
I will give them comfort(AB) and joy(AC) instead of sorrow.
14 I will satisfy(AD) the priests(AE) with abundance,
and my people will be filled with my bounty,(AF)”
declares the Lord.
