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.

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.
