Jeremiah 31:21-26
Legacy Standard Bible
21 “Set up roadmarks for yourself,
Place for yourself guideposts;
(A)Set your heart to the highway,
The way by which you went.
(B)Return, O virgin of Israel,
Return to these your cities.
22 How long will you go here and there,
O (C)faithless daughter?
For Yahweh has created a new thing in the earth—
A [a]woman will encompass a man.”
23 Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, “Once again they will speak this word in the land of Judah and in its cities when I [b](D)return their [c]fortunes,
24 And Judah and all its cities will (G)inhabit it together, the farmer and they who go about with flocks. 25 (H)For I satisfy the weary soul and fill up every soul who wastes away.” 26 At this I (I)awoke and looked, and my (J)sleep was pleasant to me.

Jeremiah 31:21-26
New Living Translation
21 Set up road signs;
put up guideposts.
Mark well the path
by which you came.
Come back again, my virgin Israel;
return to your towns here.
22 How long will you wander,
my wayward daughter?
For the Lord will cause something new to happen—
Israel will embrace her God.[a]”
23 This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: “When I bring them back from captivity, the people of Judah and its towns will again say, ‘The Lord bless you, O righteous home, O holy mountain!’ 24 Townspeople and farmers and shepherds alike will live together in peace and happiness. 25 For I have given rest to the weary and joy to the sorrowing.”
26 At this, I woke up and looked around. My sleep had been very sweet.
