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
Revised Standard Version
21 “Set up waymarks for yourself,
make yourself guideposts;
consider well the highway,
the road by which you went.
Return, O virgin Israel,
return to these your cities.
22 How long will you waver,
O faithless daughter?
For the Lord has created a new thing on the earth:
a woman protects 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, when I restore their fortunes:
‘The Lord bless you, O habitation of righteousness,
O holy hill!’
24 And Judah and all its cities shall dwell there together, and the farmers and those who wander[a] with their flocks. 25 For I will satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish.”
26 Thereupon I awoke and looked, and my sleep was pleasant to me.
