JER-31:1 At the same time, saith the LORD, will I be the God of
all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.
JER-31:2 Thus saith the LORD, The people [which were] left of
the sword found grace in the wilderness; [even] Israel, when I
went to cause him to rest.
JER-31:3 The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, [saying], Yea, I
have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with
lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
JER-31:4 Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O
virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets,
and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.
JER-31:5 Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of
Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat [them] as
common things.
JER-31:6 For there shall be a day, [that] the watchmen upon the
mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto
the LORD our God.
JER-31:7 For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness for Jacob,
and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye,
and say, O LORD, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.
JER-31:8 Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and
gather them from the coasts of the earth, [and] with them the
blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth
with child together: a great company shall return thither.
JER-31:9 They shall come with weeping, and with supplications
will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of
waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I
am a father to Israel, and Ephraim [is] my firstborn.
JER-31:10 Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare
[it] in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel
will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd [doth] his flock.
JER-31:11 For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him
from the hand of [him that was] stronger than he.
JER-31:12 Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of
Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for
wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock
and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden;
and they shall not sorrow any more at all.
JER-31:13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young
men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy,
and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
JER-31:14 And I will satiate the soul of the priests with
fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness,
saith the LORD.
JER-31:15 Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah,
lamentation, [and] bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her
children refused to be comforted for her children, because they
[were] not.
JER-31:16 Thus saith the LORD; Refrain thy voice from weeping,
and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith
the LORD; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.
JER-31:17 And there is hope in thine end, saith the LORD, that
thy children shall come again to their own border.
JER-31:18 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself [thus];
Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock
unaccustomed [to the yoke]: turn thou me, and I shall be turned;
for thou [art] the LORD my God.
JER-31:19 Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after
that I was instructed, I smote upon [my] thigh: I was ashamed,
yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my
youth.
JER-31:20 [Is] Ephraim my dear son? [is he] a pleasant child?
for since I spake against him, I do earnestly remember him still:
therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have
mercy upon him, saith the LORD.
JER-31:21 Set thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps: set thine
heart toward the highway, [even] the way [which] thou wentest:
turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.
JER-31:22 How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding
daughter? for the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth, A
woman shall compass a man.
JER-31:23 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As
yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the
cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity; The
LORD bless thee, O habitation of justice, [and] mountain of
holiness.
JER-31:24 And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the
cities thereof together, husbandmen, and they [that] go forth
with flocks.
JER-31:25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have
replenished every sorrowful soul.
JER-31:26 Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet
unto me.
JER-31:27 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will sow
the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man,
and with the seed of beast.
JER-31:28 And it shall come to pass, [that] like as I have
watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw
down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them,
to build, and to plant, saith the LORD.
JER-31:29 In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have
eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge.
JER-31:30 But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every
man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
JER-31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will
make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house
of Judah:
JER-31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their
fathers in the day [that] I took them by the hand to bring them
out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although
I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
JER-31:33 But this [shall be] the covenant that I will make with
the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will
put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts;
and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
JER-31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour,
and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall
all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them,
saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will
remember their sin no more.
JER-31:35 Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light
by day, [and] the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a
light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof
roar; The LORD of hosts [is] his name:
JER-31:36 If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the
LORD, [then] the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a
nation before me for ever.
JER-31:37 Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured,
and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will
also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done,
saith the LORD.
JER-31:38 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the city
shall be built to the LORD from the tower of Hananeel unto the
gate of the corner.
JER-31:39 And the measuring line shall yet go forth over against
