21 “Set up road signs.
    Make guideposts.
Set your heart toward the highway,
    even the way by which you went.
Turn again, virgin of Israel.
    Turn again to these your cities.
22 How long will you go here and there,
    you backsliding daughter?
For Yahweh has created a new thing in the earth:
    a woman will encompass a man.”

23 Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Yet again they will use this speech in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I reverse their captivity: ‘Yahweh bless you, habitation of righteousness, mountain of holiness.’ 24 Judah and all its cities will dwell therein together, the farmers, and those who go about with flocks. 25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.”

26 On this I awakened, and saw; and my sleep was sweet to me.

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:

(G)“‘The Lord bless you, (H)O habitation of righteousness,
    (I)O holy hill!’

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.
