Jeremiah 31:10-20
New International Version
10 “Hear the word of the Lord, you nations;
proclaim it in distant coastlands:(A)
‘He who scattered(B) Israel will gather(C) them
and will watch over his flock like a shepherd.’(D)
11 For the Lord will deliver Jacob
and redeem(E) them from the hand of those stronger(F) than they.
12 They will come and shout for joy(G) on the heights(H) of Zion;
they will rejoice in the bounty(I) of the Lord—
the grain, the new wine and the olive oil,(J)
the young of the flocks(K) and herds.
They will be like a well-watered garden,(L)
and they will sorrow(M) no more.
13 Then young women will dance and be glad,
young men and old as well.
I will turn their mourning(N) into gladness;
I will give them comfort(O) and joy(P) instead of sorrow.
14 I will satisfy(Q) the priests(R) with abundance,
and my people will be filled with my bounty,(S)”
declares the Lord.
15 This is what the Lord says:
“A voice is heard in Ramah,(T)
mourning and great weeping,
Rachel weeping for her children
and refusing to be comforted,(U)
because they are no more.”(V)
16 This is what the Lord says:
“Restrain your voice from weeping
and your eyes from tears,(W)
for your work will be rewarded,(X)”
declares the Lord.
“They will return(Y) from the land of the enemy.
17 So there is hope(Z) for your descendants,”
declares the Lord.
“Your children(AA) will return to their own land.
18 “I have surely heard Ephraim’s moaning:
‘You disciplined(AB) me like an unruly calf,(AC)
and I have been disciplined.
Restore(AD) me, and I will return,
because you are the Lord my God.
19 After I strayed,(AE)
I repented;
after I came to understand,
I beat(AF) my breast.
I was ashamed(AG) and humiliated
because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’(AH)
20 Is not Ephraim my dear son,
the child(AI) in whom I delight?
Though I often speak against him,
I still remember(AJ) him.
Therefore my heart yearns for him;
I have great compassion(AK) for him,”
declares the Lord.
