³¹ “The days are coming,” declares the Lord,
    “when I will make a new covenant^(A)
with the people of Israel
    and with the people of Judah.
³² It will not be like the covenant^(B)
    I made with their ancestors^(C)
when I took them by the hand
    to lead them out of Egypt,^(D)
because they broke my covenant,
    though I was a husband^(E) to^[a] them,^[b]”

I will be their God,
    and they will be my people.^(H)
34 No longer will they teach^(I) their neighbor,
    or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know^(J) me,
    from the least of them to the greatest,”
declares the Lord.
“For I will forgive^(K) their wickedness
    and will remember their sins^(L) no more.”

he who appoints^(M) the sun
    to shine by day,
who decrees the moon and stars
    to shine by night,^(N)
who stirs up the sea^(O)
    so that its waves roar^(P)—
    the Lord Almighty is his name:^(Q)
36 “Only if these decrees^(R) vanish from my sight,”
    declares the Lord,
“will Israel^(S) ever cease
    being a nation before me.”

“Only if the heavens above can be measured^(T)
    and the foundations of the earth below be searched out
will I reject^(U) all the descendants of Israel
    because of all they have done,”
declares the Lord.

⁷ Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!^(A)
    When the Lord restores^(B) his people,
    let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!

⁶ “I will strengthen^(A) Judah
    and save the tribes of Joseph.
I will restore them
    because I have compassion^(B) on them.^(C)
They will be as though
    I had not rejected them,
for I am the Lord their God
    and I will answer^(D) them.
⁷ The Ephraimites will become like warriors,
    and their hearts will be glad as with wine.^(E)
Their children will see it and be joyful;
    their hearts will rejoice^(F) in the Lord.
⁸ I will signal^(G) for them
    and gather them in.
Surely I will redeem them;
    they will be as numerous^(H) as before.
⁹ Though I scatter them among the peoples,
    yet in distant lands they will remember me.^(I)
They and their children will survive,
    and they will return.
¹⁰ I will bring them back from Egypt
    and gather them from Assyria.^(J)
I will bring them to Gilead^(K) and Lebanon,
    and there will not be room^(L) enough for them.
¹¹ They will pass through the sea of trouble;
    the surging sea will be subdued
    and all the depths of the Nile will dry up.^(M)
Assyria’s pride^(N) will be brought down
    and Egypt’s scepter^(O) will pass away.^(P)
12 I will strengthen^(Q) them in the Lord
    and in his name they will live securely,^(R)”

“They will rebuild the ruined cities^(C) and live in them.
    They will plant vineyards^(D) and drink their wine;
    they will make gardens and eat their fruit.^(E)
15 I will plant^(F) Israel in their own land,^(G)
    never again to be uprooted^(H)
    from the land I have given them,”^(I)
