Jeremiah 31:1-6
Modern English Version
The Exiles Return
31 At that time, says the Lord, I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be My people.
2 Thus says the Lord:
The people who survived the sword
found grace in the wilderness,
when I went to give Israel rest.
3 The Lord has appeared to him from afar, saying:
Indeed, I have loved you with an everlasting love;
therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.
4 Again I will build you
and you will be built, O virgin of Israel.
You will again be adorned with your tambourines
and shall go forth in the dances of those who make merry.
5 You will yet plant vines
on the mountains of Samaria;
the planters will plant
and will enjoy them.
6 For there will be a day when the watchmen
on the hills of Ephraim will proclaim,
“Arise, and let us go up to Zion,
to the Lord our God.”
Jeremiah 31:1-6
21st Century King James Version
31 “At the same time,” saith the Lord, “will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be My people.”
2 Thus saith the Lord: “The people who were left from the sword found grace in the wilderness, even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.”
3 The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, “Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
4 Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel; thou shalt again be adorned with thy timbrels, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.
5 Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria; the planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common things.
6 For there shall be a day that the watchmen upon Mount Ephraim shall cry, ‘Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the Lord our God.’”
