Jeremiah 31:21-26
New American Standard Bible
21 “Set up roadmarks for yourself,
Place guideposts for yourself;
(A)Direct your [a]mind 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 waver,
You (C)rebellious daughter?
For the Lord has created a new thing on the earth:
A woman will shelter a man.”
23 This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: “Once again they will speak this word in the land of Judah and in its cities when I (D)restore their fortunes,
24 Judah and all its cities will (G)live together in it, the farmers and those who travel with flocks. 25 (H)For I give plenty of water to the weary ones, and [b]refresh everyone who languishes.” 26 At this I (I)awoke and looked, and my (J)sleep had been pleasant to me.

Jeremiah 31:21-26
Christian Standard Bible
Repentance and Restoration
21 Set up road markers(A) for yourself;
establish signposts!
Keep the highway in mind,
the way you have traveled.
Return, Virgin Israel!
Return to these cities of yours.
22 How long will you turn here and there,
faithless daughter?(B)
For the Lord creates something new in the land[a]—
a female[b] will shelter[c] a man.
23 This is what the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “When I restore their fortunes,[d] they will once again speak this word in the land of Judah and in its cities: ‘May the Lord bless you, righteous settlement,(C) holy mountain.’(D) 24 Judah and all its cities will live in it together—also farmers and those who move[e] with the flocks— 25 for I satisfy the thirsty person and feed all those who are weak.”(E)
26 At this I awoke and looked around. My sleep had been most pleasant to me.
