Jeremiah 31:21-26
World English Bible
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.

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.
