Jeremiah 31:7-14
1599 Geneva Bible
7 For thus saith the Lord, Rejoice with gladness for Jacob, and shout for joy among the chief of the Gentiles: publish praise and say, O Lord, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.
8 [a]Behold, I will bring them from the North country, and gather them from the coasts of the world, with the blind and the lame among them, with the woman with child, and her that is delivered also: a great company shall return hither.
9 They shall come [b]weeping, and with mercy will I bring them again: I will lead them by the rivers of [c]water in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is [d]my firstborn.
10 ¶ Hear the word of the Lord, O ye Gentiles, and declare in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel, will gather him, and will keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.
11 For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand [e]of him, that was stronger than he.
12 Therefore they shall come, and rejoice in the height of Zion, and shall run to the bountifulness of the Lord, even for the [f]wheat and for the wine, and for the oil, and for the increase of sheep and bullocks: and their soul shall be as a watered garden, and they shall have no more sorrow.
13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the [g]dance, and the young men and the old men together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and give them joy for their sorrows.
14 And I will replenish the soul of the Priests with [h]fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the Lord.
