Jeremiah 31:20-25
English Standard Version
20 (A)Is Ephraim my dear son?
(B)Is he my darling child?
For as often as I speak against him,
I do remember him still.
(C)Therefore my heart[a] yearns for him;
I will surely have mercy on him,
declares the Lord.
21 (D)“Set up road markers for yourself;
make yourself guideposts;
(E)consider well the highway,
(F)the road by which you went.
Return, O virgin Israel,
return to these your cities.
22 (G)How long will you waver,
(H)O faithless daughter?
For the Lord has created a new thing on the earth:
a woman encircles a man.”
23 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Once more they shall use these words in the land of Judah and in its cities, (I)when I restore their fortunes:
24 (M)And Judah and all its cities shall dwell there together, and (N)the farmers and those who wander with their flocks. 25 For I will (O)satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish.”
