Jeremiah 31:21-26
New International Version
Jeremiah 31:21-26
New International Version
21 “Set up road signs;
put up guideposts.(A)
Take note of the highway,(B)
the road that you take.
Return,(C) Virgin(D) Israel,
return to your towns.
22 How long will you wander,(E)
unfaithful(F) Daughter Israel?
The Lord will create a new thing(G) on earth—
the woman will return to[a](H) the man.”
23 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “When I bring them back from captivity,[b](I) the people in the land of Judah and in its towns will once again use these words: ‘The Lord bless(J) you, you prosperous city,(K) you sacred mountain.’(L) 24 People will live(M) together in Judah and all its towns—farmers and those who move about with their flocks.(N) 25 I will refresh the weary(O) and satisfy the faint.”(P)
26 At this I awoke(Q) and looked around. My sleep had been pleasant to me.

21 Set up markers,
put up signs;
think about the road you have traveled,
the path you have taken.
Return, virgin Israel;
return to these towns of yours.
22 How long will you hem and haw,
my rebellious daughter?
The Lord has created something new on earth:
Virgin Israel will once again embrace her God![a]
23 The Lord of heavenly forces, the God of Israel, proclaims: When I bring my people[b] back from captivity, they will once again utter these words in the land and towns of Judah:
The Lord bless you,
righteous dwelling place,
holy mountain.
24 Those who live in Judah and its towns will dwell together with farmers and shepherds. 25 I will strengthen the weary and renew those who are weak.
26 Then I woke up and looked around. What a pleasant sleep I had!
