Jeremiah 31:21-26
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
21 Set up road markers for yourself;
make yourself signposts;
consider well the highway,
the road by which you went.
Return, O virgin Israel,
return to these your cities.(A)
22 How long will you waver,
O faithless daughter?
For the Lord has created a new thing on the earth:
a woman encompasses[a] 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 towns when I restore their fortunes:
“The Lord bless you, O abode of righteousness,
O holy hill!”(B)
24 And Judah and all its towns shall live there together, and the farmers and those who wander with their flocks.(C)
25 I will satisfy the weary,
and all who are faint I will replenish.(D)
26 Thereupon I awoke and looked, and my sleep was pleasant to me.
