Jeremiah 31:8-12
English Standard Version
Jeremiah 31:8-12
English Standard Version
8 Behold, I will bring them (A)from the north country
and (B)gather them from (C)the farthest parts of the earth,
among them (D)the blind and the lame,
the pregnant woman and she who is in labor, together;
a great company, they shall return here.
9 (E)With weeping they shall come,
(F)and with pleas for mercy I will lead them back,
I will make them (G)walk by brooks of water,
(H)in a straight path in which they shall not stumble,
for (I)I am a father to Israel,
and Ephraim is (J)my firstborn.
10 “Hear the word of the Lord, O nations,
and declare it in the coastlands far away;
say, ‘He who scattered Israel will (K)gather him,
and will keep him (L)as a shepherd keeps his flock.’
11 (M)For the Lord has ransomed Jacob
and has redeemed him from (N)hands too strong for him.
12 They shall come and sing aloud on the height of Zion,
(O)and they shall be radiant (P)over the goodness of the Lord,
(Q)over the grain, the wine, and the oil,
and over the young of the flock and the herd;
(R)their life shall be like a watered garden,
(S)and they shall languish no more.

Jeremiah 31:8-12
New International Version
8 See, I will bring them from the land of the north(A)
and gather(B) them from the ends of the earth.
Among them will be the blind(C) and the lame,(D)
expectant mothers and women in labor;
a great throng will return.
9 They will come with weeping;(E)
they will pray as I bring them back.
I will lead(F) them beside streams of water(G)
on a level(H) path where they will not stumble,
because I am Israel’s father,(I)
and Ephraim is my firstborn son.
10 “Hear the word of the Lord, you nations;
proclaim it in distant coastlands:(J)
‘He who scattered(K) Israel will gather(L) them
and will watch over his flock like a shepherd.’(M)
11 For the Lord will deliver Jacob
and redeem(N) them from the hand of those stronger(O) than they.
12 They will come and shout for joy(P) on the heights(Q) of Zion;
they will rejoice in the bounty(R) of the Lord—
the grain, the new wine and the olive oil,(S)
the young of the flocks(T) and herds.
They will be like a well-watered garden,(U)
and they will sorrow(V) no more.
