Jeremiah 31:9-14

New International Version

⁹ They will come with weeping;^(A)
    they will pray as I bring them back.
I will lead^(B) them beside streams of water^(C)
    on a level^(D) path where they will not stumble,
because I am Israel’s father,^(E)
    and Ephraim is my firstborn son.

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