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
English Standard Version
21 (A)“Set up road markers for yourself;
make yourself guideposts;
(B)consider well the highway,
(C)the road by which you went.
Return, O virgin Israel,
return to these your cities.
22 (D)How long will you waver,
(E)O faithless daughter?
For the Lord has created a new thing on the earth:
a woman encircles 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, (F)when I restore their fortunes:
24 (J)And Judah and all its cities shall dwell there together, and (K)the farmers and those who wander with their flocks. 25 For I will (L)satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish.”
26 At this I awoke and looked, and my sleep was pleasant to me.
