Jeremiah 31:9-11

Easy-to-Read Version

⁹They will come back crying,
    but I will lead them and comfort them.
I will lead them by streams of water.
    I will lead them on an easy road,
    where they will not stumble.
I will lead them in that way because I am Israel’s father.
    And Ephraim is my firstborn son.

¹⁰“Nations, listen to this message from the Lord!
    Tell this message in the faraway lands by the sea:
‘God scattered the people of Israel,
    but he will bring them back together.
    And he will watch over his flock like a shepherd.’
¹¹The Lord will bring Jacob back.
    He will save his people from those who are stronger.
