Jeremiah 31:7-9
New American Standard Bible
7 For this is what the Lord says:
“(A)Sing aloud with joy for Jacob,
And be joyful with the [a](B)chief of the nations;
Proclaim, give praise, and say,
‘Lord, (C)save Your people,
The (D)remnant of Israel!’
8 Behold, I am (E)bringing them from the north country,
And I will (F)gather them from the remote parts of the earth,
Among them those who are (G)blind and those who (H)limp,
The pregnant woman and she who is in labor, together;
They will return here as a great assembly.
9 (I)They will come with weeping,
And by pleading I will bring them;
I will lead them by (J)streams of waters,
On a straight path on which they will (K)not stumble;
For I am a (L)father to Israel,
And Ephraim is (M)My firstborn.”

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 For thus says the Lord:
Sing aloud with gladness for Jacob,
and raise shouts for the chief of the nations;
proclaim, give praise, and say,
“Save, O Lord, your people,
the remnant of Israel.”(A)
8 See, I am going to bring them from the land of the north
and gather them from the farthest parts of the earth,
among them the blind and the lame,
those with child and those in labor together;
a great company, they shall return here.(B)
9 With weeping they shall come,
and with consolations[a] I will lead them back;
I will let them walk by brooks of water,
in a straight path where they shall not stumble,
for I have become a father to Israel,
and Ephraim is my firstborn.(C)

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
7 For thus saith the Lord: Rejoice ye in the joy of Jacob, and neigh before the head of the Gentiles: shout ye, and sing, and say: Save, O Lord, thy people, the remnant of Israel.
8 Behold I will bring them from the north country, and will gather them from the ends of the earth: and among them shall be the blind, and the lame, the woman with child, and she that is bringing forth, together, a great company of them returning hither.
9 They shall come with weeping: and I will bring them back in mercy: and I will bring them through the torrents of waters in a right way, and they shall not stumble in it: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.

The Message
7 Oh yes, God says so:
“Shout for joy at the top of your lungs for Jacob!
Announce the good news to the number-one nation!
Raise cheers! Sing praises. Say,
‘God has saved his people,
saved the core of Israel.’
8 “Watch what comes next:
“I’ll bring my people back
from the north country
And gather them up from the ends of the earth,
gather those who’ve gone blind
And those who are lame and limping,
gather pregnant women,
Even the mothers whose birth pangs have started,
bring them all back, a huge crowd!
9 “Watch them come! They’ll come weeping for joy
as I take their hands and lead them,
Lead them to fresh flowing brooks,
lead them along smooth, uncluttered paths.
Yes, it’s because I’m Israel’s Father
and Ephraim’s my firstborn son!
