Jeremiah 31

Israel's Mourning Turned to Joy

1

"At that timeh6256," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "I will be the  aGodh430 of allh3605 the  bfamiliesh4940 of Israelh3478, and they shall be My peopleh5971a."

2

Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, "The peopleh5971a whoh8300 survivedh8300 the swordh2719  aFoundh4672 graceh2580 in the wildernessh4057b-- Israelh3478, when it wenth1980 to  bfindh7280b its resth7280b."

3

The LORDh3068 appearedh7200 to  1him from afarh7350, saying, "I have  alovedh157 you with an everlastingh5769 loveh160; Thereforeh5921h3651 I have drawnh4900 you with  blovingkindnessh2617a.

4

aAgainh5750 I will buildh1129 you and you will be rebuilth1129, O virginh1330 of Israelh3478! Againh5750 you will  1takeh5710b up your  btambourinesh8596, And goh3318 forthh3318 to the dancesh4234 of the  cmerrymakersh7832.

5

"Againh5750 you will  aplanth5193 vineyardsh3754 On the  1hillsh2022 of Samariah8111; The plantersh5193 will planth5193 And will  2enjoyh2490c them.

6

"For thereh3426 will be a dayh3117 when watchmenh5341 On the hillsh2022 of Ephraimh669 callh7121 out, `Ariseh6965, and  alet us goh5927 up to Zionh6726, To the LORDh3068 our Godh430.' "

7

For thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, " aSingh7442 aloudh7442 with gladnessh8057 for Jacobh3290, And shouth6670a among the  1 bchiefh7218 of the nationsh1471; Proclaimh8085, giveh1984b praiseh1984b and sayh559, `O LORDh3068,  csaveh3467 Your peopleh5971a, The  dremnanth7611 of Israelh3478.'

8

"Beholdh2009, I am  abringingh935 them from the northh6828 countryh776, And I will  bgatherh6908 them from the remoteh3411 partsh3411 of the earthh776, Among them the  cblindh5787 and the  dlameh6455, The womanh2030 with childh2030 and she who is in laborh3205 with child, togetherh3164a; A greath1419  1companyh6951, they will returnh7725 hereh2008.

9

aWith weepingh1065 they will comeh935, And by supplicationh8469 I will leadh2986 them; I will make them walkh1980 by  bstreamsh5158a of watersh4325, On a straighth3477 pathh1870 in which they will  cnot stumbleh3782; For I amh1961 a  dfatherh1 to Israelh3478, And Ephraimh669 is  eMy firstbornh1060."

10

Hearh8085 the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068, O nationsh1471, And declareh5046 in the  acoastlandsh339 afarh4801 offh4801, And sayh559, "He who scatteredh2219 Israelh3478 will  bgatherh6908 him And keeph8104 him as a  cshepherdh7462a keeps his flockh5739."

11

For the LORDh3068 has  aransomedh6299 Jacobh3290 And redeemedh1350 him from the handh3027 of him whoh2389 was  bstrongerh2389 thanh4480 he.

12

"They will  acomeh935 and shouth7442 for joyh7442 on the  bheighth4791 of Zionh6726, And they will be  cradianth5102b overh413 the  1bountyh2898 of the LORDh3068-- Overh5921 the  dgrainh1715 and the newh8492 wineh8492 and the oilh3323, And overh5921 the youngh1121 of the  eflockh6629 and the herdh1241; And their lifeh5315 will be like a  fwateredh7302 gardenh1588, And they will  gneverh3808h5750 languishh1669 againh3254.

13

"Thenh227 the virginh1330 will rejoiceh8055 in the  adanceh4234, And the youngh970 menh970 and the oldh2205, togetherh3164a, For I will  bturnh2015 their mourningh60 into joyh8342 And will comforth5162 them and giveh8055 them  cjoyh8055 for their sorrowh3015.

14

"I will  1fillh7301 the soulh5315 of the priestsh3548 with  2abundanceh1880, And My peopleh5971a will be  asatisfiedh7646 with My goodnessh2898," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068.

15

Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, " aA voiceh6963 is heardh8085 in  bRamahh7414, Lamentationh5092 and bitterh8563 weepingh1065. Rachelh7354 is weepingh1065 for her childrenh1121; She  crefusesh3985 to be comfortedh5162 for her childrenh1121, Becauseh3588  dthey are noh369 moreh369."

16

Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, " aRestrainh4513 your voiceh6963 from weepingh1065 And your eyesh5869 from tearsh1832; For your  bworkh6468 will be rewardedh7939," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "And they will  creturnh7725 from the landh776 of the enemyh340.

17

"Thereh3426 is  ahopeh8615b for your futureh319," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "And your childrenh1121 will returnh7725 to their own territoryh1366.

18

"I have surelyh8085 heardh8085 Ephraimh669  agrievingh5110, `You have  bchastisedh3256 me, and I was chastisedh3256, Like an untrainedh3808h3925  ccalfh5695;  dBringh7725 me backh7725 that I may be restoredh7725, For You are the LORDh3068 my Godh430.

19

`For afterh310 I turnedh7725 backh7725, I  arepentedh5162; And afterh310 I was instructedh3045, I  bsmoteh5606 on my thighh3409; I was  cashamedh954 and alsoh1571 humiliatedh3637 Becauseh3588 I boreh5375 the reproachh2781 of my youthh5271.'

20

"Is  aEphraimh669 My dearh3357 sonh1121? Is he a delightfulh8191 childh3206? Indeedh3588, as oftenh1767 as I have spokenh1696 against him, I certainlyh2142 still rememberh2142 him; Thereforeh5921h3651 My  1 bhearth4578 yearnsh1993 for him; I will surelyh7355  chaveh7355 mercyh7355 on him," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068.

21

"Seth5324 up for yourself roadmarksh6725, Placeh7760 for yourself guidepostsh8564;  aDirecth7896 your  1mindh3820 to the highwayh4546, The wayh1870 by which you wenth1980.  bReturnh7725, O virginh1330 of Israelh3478, Returnh7725 to theseh428 your citiesh5892b.

22

"Howh4970 longh5704h4970 will you goh2559 hereh2559 and thereh2559, O  afaithlessh7728 daughterh1323? For the LORDh3068 has createdh1254a a newh2319 thingh2319 in the earthh776-- A womanh5347 will encompassh5437 a manh1397."

23

Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, the Godh430 of Israelh3478, "Once againh5750 they will speakh559 thish2088 wordh1697 in the landh776 of Judahh3063 and in its citiesh5892b when I  arestoreh7725 their  1fortunesh7622, `The LORDh3068 blessh1288 you, O  babodeh5116a of righteousnessh6664, O  cholyh6944 hillh2022!'

24

"Judahh3063 and allh3605 its citiesh5892b will  adwellh3427 togetherh3164a in it, the farmerh406 and they who goh5265 abouth5265 with flocksh5739.

25

aFor I satisfyh7301 the wearyh5889 onesh5315 and  1refreshh4390 everyoneh3605 who languishesh1669."

26

At thish384 I  aawokeh7019a and lookedh7200, and my  bsleeph8142 was pleasanth6149 to me.

A New Covenant

27

"Beholdh2009, daysh3117 are comingh935," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "when I will  asowh2232 the househ1004 of Israelh3478 and the househ1004 of Judahh3063 with the seedh2233 of manh120 and with the seedh2233 of beasth929.

28

"As I have  awatchedh8245 overh5921 them to  bpluckh5428 up, to breakh5422 downh5422, to overthrowh2040, to destroyh6 and to bringh7489a disasterh7489a, soh3651 I will watchh8245 overh5921 them to  cbuildh1129 and to planth5193," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068.

29

"In thoseh1992a daysh3117 they will not sayh559 againh5750, ` aThe fathersh1 have eatenh398 sourh1155 grapesh1155, And the children'sh1121 teethh8127 are  1seth6949a on edgeh6949a.'

30

"But  aeveryoneh376 will dieh4191 for his own iniquityh5771; eachh3605 manh120 who eatsh398 the sourh1155 grapesh1155, his teethh8127 will be  1seth6949a on edgeh6949a.

31

aBeholdh2009, daysh3117 are comingh935," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "when I will makeh3772 a  bnewh2319 covenanth1285 with the househ1004 of Israelh3478 and with the househ1004 of Judahh3063,

32

not like the  acovenanth1285 whichh834 I madeh3772 with their fathersh1 in the dayh3117 I  btookh2388 them by the handh3027 to bringh3318 them out of the landh776 of Egypth4714, My  ccovenanth1285 whichh834 they brokeh6565a, although I was a husbandh1166 to them," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068.

33

"But  athish384 is the covenanth1285 whichh834 I will makeh3772 with the househ1004 of Israelh3478 afterh310 thoseh1992a daysh3117," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, " bI will puth5414 My lawh8451 withinh7130 them and on their hearth3820 I will writeh3789 it; and  cI will be their Godh430, and they shall be My peopleh5971a.

34

"They will  anot teachh3925 againh5750, eachh376 manh376 his neighborh7453 and eachh376 manh376 his brotherh251, sayingh559, `Knowh3045 the LORDh3068,' for they will allh3605  bknowh3045 Me, from the leasth6996a of them to the greatesth1419 of them," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "for I will  cforgiveh5545 their iniquityh5771, and their  dsinh2403b I will rememberh2142 noh3808 moreh5750."

35

Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, Who  agivesh5414 the sunh8121 for lighth216 by dayh3119 And the  1fixedh2708 orderh2708 of the moonh3394 and the starsh3556 for lighth216 by nighth3915, Who  bstirsh7280a up the seah3220 so that its wavesh1530 roarh1993;  cThe LORDh3068 of hostsh6635 is His nameh8034:

36

aIfh518  1thish428 fixedh2706 orderh2706 departsh4185 From beforeh4480h6440 Me," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "Then the offspringh2233 of Israelh3478 alsoh1571 will  bceaseh7673a From beingh1961 a nationh1471 beforeh6440 Me  2foreverh3605h3117."

37

Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, " aIfh518 the heavensh8064 aboveh4480h4605 can be measuredh4058 And the foundationsh4144 of the earthh776 searchedh2713 out belowh4295, Then I will alsoh1571  bcasth3988a offh3988a allh3605 the offspringh2233 of Israelh3478 For allh3605 that they have doneh6213a," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068.

38

"Beholdh2009, daysh3117 are comingh935," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "when the  acityh5892b will be rebuilth1129 for the LORDh3068 from the  bTowerh4026 of Hananelh2606 to the  cCornerh6438 Gateh8179.

"The  ameasuringh4060a lineh6957b will goh3318 out fartherh5750 straighth5048 aheadh5048 to the hillh1389 Garebh1619; then it will turnh5437 to Goahh1601.
