Jeremiah 31 (WEB) World English Bible

1 At that time, says Yahweh, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.
2 Thus says Yahweh, The people who were left of the sword found favor in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.
3 Yahweh appeared of old to me, saying, Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love: therefore with loving kindness have I drawn you.
4 Again will I build you, and you shall be built, O virgin of Israel: again shall you be adorned with your tambourines, and shall go forth in the dances of those who make merry.
5 Again shall you plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria; the planters shall plant, and shall enjoy the fruit of it.
6 For there shall be a day, that the watchmen on the hills of Ephraim shall cry, Arise you , and let us go up to Zion to Yahweh our God.
7 For thus says Yahweh, Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout for the chief of the nations: publish you , praise you , and say, Yahweh, save your people, the remnant of Israel.
8 Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her who travails with child together: a great company shall they return here.
9 They shall come with weeping; and with petitions will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way in which they shall not stumble; for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.
10 Hear the word of Yahweh, you nations, and declare it in the isles afar off; and say, He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as shepherd does his flock.
11 For Yahweh has ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him from the hand of him who was stronger than he.
12 They shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow to the goodness of Yahweh, to the grain, and to the new wine, and to the oil, and to 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.
13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old together; for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
14 I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, says Yahweh.
15 Thus says Yahweh: A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children; she refuses to be comforted for her children, because they are no more.
16 Thus says Yahweh: Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears; for your work shall be rewarded, says Yahweh; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.
17 There is hope for your latter end, says Yahweh; and your children shall come again to their own border.
18 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus, You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as a calf unaccustomed to the yoke: turn you me, and I shall be turned; for you are Yahweh my God.
19 Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I struck on my thigh: I was ashamed, yes, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.
20 Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a darling child? for as often as I speak against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my heart yearns for him; I will surely have mercy on him, says Yahweh.
21 Set up road signs, make guideposts; set your heart toward the highway, even the way by which you went: turn again, virgin of Israel, turn again to these your cities.
22 How long will you go here and there, you backsliding daughter? for Yahweh has created a new thing in the earth: a woman shall encompass a man.
23 Thus says Yahweh of Hosts, the God of Israel, Yet again shall they use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities of it, when I shall bring again their captivity: Yahweh bless you, habitation of righteousness, mountain of holiness.
24 Judah and all the cities of it shall dwell therein together, the farmers, and those who go about with flocks.
25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and every sorrowful soul have I replenished.
26 On this I awakened, and saw; and my sleep was sweet to me.
27 Behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of animal.
28 It shall happen that, like as I have watched over them to pluck up and to break down and to overthrow and to destroy and to afflict, so will I watch over them to build and to plant, says Yahweh.
29 In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge.
30 But everyone shall die for his own iniquity: every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.
31 Behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
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 broke, although I was a husband to them, says Yahweh.
33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says Yahweh: I will put my law in their inward parts, and in their heart will I write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people:
34 and they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know Yahweh; for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says Yahweh: for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin will I remember no more.
35 Thus says Yahweh, who gives the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirs up the sea, so that the waves of it roar; Yahweh of hosts is his name:
36 If these ordinances depart from before me, says Yahweh, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me forever.
37 Thus says Yahweh: If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, then will I also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, says Yahweh.
38 Behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that the city shall be built to Yahweh from the tower of Hananel to the gate of the corner.
39 The measuring line shall go out further straight onward to the hill Gareb, and shall turn about to Goah.
40 The whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields to the brook Kidron, to the corner of the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy to Yahweh; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more forever.
1 At the same H1931 time, H6256 saith H5002 the LORD, H3068 will I be H1961 the God H430 of all H3605 the families H4940 of Israel, H3478 and they H1992 shall be H1961 my people. H5971
2 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD, H3068 The people H5971 which were left H8300 of the sword H2719 found H4672 grace H2580 in the wilderness; H4057 even Israel, H3478 when I went H1980 to cause him to rest. H7280
3 The LORD H3068 hath appeared H7200 of old H4480 H7350 unto me, saying , Yea , I have loved H157 thee with an everlasting H5769 love: H160 therefore H5921 H3651 with lovingkindness H2617 have I drawn H4900 thee.
4 Again H5750 I will build H1129 thee , and thou shalt be built, H1129 O virgin H1330 of Israel: H3478 thou shalt again H5750 be adorned H5710 with thy tabrets, H8596 and shalt go forth H3318 in the dances H4234 of them that make merry. H7832
5 Thou shalt yet H5750 plant H5193 vines H3754 upon the mountains H2022 of Samaria: H8111 the planters H5193 shall plant, H5193 and shall eat them as common things. H2490
6 For H3588 there shall be H3426 a day, H3117 that the watchmen H5341 upon the mount H2022 Ephraim H669 shall cry, H7121 Arise H6965 ye , and let us go up H5927 to Zion H6726 unto H413 the LORD H3068 our God. H430
7 For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD; H3068 Sing H7442 with gladness H8057 for Jacob, H3290 and shout H6670 among the chief H7218 of the nations: H1471 publish H8085 ye, praise H1984 ye , and say, H559 O LORD, H3068 save H3467 H853 thy people, H5971 H853 the remnant H7611 of Israel. H3478
8 Behold H2009 , I will bring H935 them from the north H6828 country H4480 H776 , and gather H6908 them from the coasts H4480 H3411 of the earth, H776 and with them the blind H5787 and the lame, H6455 the woman with child H2029 and her that travaileth with child H3205 together: H3162 a great H1419 company H6951 shall return H7725 thither. H2008
9 They shall come H935 with weeping, H1065 and with supplications H8469 will I lead H2986 them : I will cause them to walk H1980 by H413 the rivers H5158 of waters H4325 in a straight H3477 way, H1870 wherein they shall not H3808 stumble: H3782 for H3588 I am H1961 a father H1 to Israel, H3478 and Ephraim H669 is my firstborn. H1060
10 Hear H8085 the word H1697 of the LORD, H3068 O ye nations, H1471 and declare H5046 it in the isles H339 afar off H4480 H4801 , and say, H559 He that scattered H2219 Israel H3478 will gather H6908 him , and keep H8104 him , as a shepherd H7462 doth his flock. H5739
11 For H3588 the LORD H3068 hath redeemed H6299 H853 Jacob, H3290 and ransomed H1350 him from the hand H4480 H3027 of him that was stronger H2389 than H4480 he.
12 Therefore they shall come H935 and sing H7442 in the height H4791 of Zion, H6726 and shall flow together H5102 to H413 the goodness H2898 of the LORD, H3068 for H5921 wheat, H1715 and for H5921 wine, H8492 and for H5921 oil, H3323 and for H5921 the young H1121 of the flock H6629 and of the herd: H1241 and their soul H5315 shall be H1961 as a watered H7302 garden; H1588 and they shall not H3808 sorrow H1669 any more H3254 at all.
13 Then H227 shall the virgin H1330 rejoice H8055 in the dance, H4234 both young men H970 and old H2205 together: H3162 for I will turn H2015 their mourning H60 into joy, H8342 and will comfort H5162 them , and make them rejoice H8055 from their sorrow H4480 H3015 .
14 And I will satiate H7301 the soul H5315 of the priests H3548 with fatness, H1880 and my people H5971 shall be satisfied with H7646 H853 my goodness, H2898 saith H5002 the LORD. H3068
15 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD; H3068 A voice H6963 was heard H8085 in Ramah, H7414 lamentation, H5092 and bitter H8563 weeping; H1065 Rachel H7354 weeping H1058 for H5921 her children H1121 refused H3985 to be comforted H5162 for H5921 her children, H1121 because H3588 they were not. H369
16 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD; H3068 Refrain H4513 thy voice H6963 from weeping H4480 H1065 , and thine eyes H5869 from tears H4480 H1832 : for H3588 thy work H6468 shall be H3426 rewarded, H7939 saith H5002 the LORD; H3068 and they shall come again H7725 from the land H4480 H776 of the enemy. H341
17 And there is H3426 hope H8615 in thine end, H319 saith H5002 the LORD, H3068 that thy children H1121 shall come again H7725 to their own border. H1366
18 I have surely heard H8085 H8085 Ephraim H669 bemoaning himself H5110 thus ; Thou hast chastised H3256 me , and I was chastised, H3256 as a bullock H5695 unaccustomed H3808 H3925 to the yoke : turn H7725 thou me , and I shall be turned; H7725 for H3588 thou H859 art the LORD H3068 my God. H430
19 Surely H3588 after that H310 I was turned, H7725 I repented; H5162 and after that H310 I was instructed, H3045 I smote H5606 upon H5921 my thigh: H3409 I was ashamed, H954 yea, even H1571 confounded, H3637 because H3588 I did bear H5375 the reproach H2781 of my youth. H5271
20 Is Ephraim H669 my dear H3357 son H1121 ? is he a pleasant H8191 child H3206 ? for H3588 since H4480 H1767 I spoke H1696 against him , I do earnestly remember H2142 H2142 him still: H5750 therefore H5921 H3651 my bowels H4578 are troubled H1993 for him ; I will surely have mercy H7355 H7355 upon him, saith H5002 the LORD. H3068
21 Set thee up H5324 waymarks, H6725 make H7760 thee high heaps: H8564 set H7896 thine heart H3820 toward the highway, H4546 even the way H1870 which thou wentest: H1980 turn again, H7725 O virgin H1330 of Israel, H3478 turn again H7725 to H413 these H428 thy cities. H5892
22 How long H5704 H4970 wilt thou go about, H2559 O thou backsliding H7728 daughter H1323 ? for H3588 the LORD H3068 hath created H1254 a new thing H2319 in the earth, H776 A woman H5347 shall compass H5437 a man. H1397
23 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 the God H430 of Israel; H3478 As yet H5750 they shall use H559 H853 this H2088 speech H1697 in the land H776 of Judah H3063 and in the cities H5892 thereof , when I shall bring again H7725 H853 their captivity; H7622 The LORD H3068 bless H1288 thee , O habitation H5116 of justice, H6664 and mountain H2022 of holiness. H6944
24 And there shall dwell H3427 in Judah H3063 itself , and in all H3605 the cities H5892 thereof together, H3162 husbandmen, H406 and they that go forth H5265 with flocks. H5739
25 For H3588 I have satiated H7301 the weary H5889 soul, H5315 and I have replenished H4390 every H3605 sorrowful H1669 soul. H5315
26 Upon H5921 this H2063 I awaked, H6974 and beheld; H7200 and my sleep H8142 was sweet H6149 unto me.
27 Behold H2009 , the days H3117 come, H935 saith H5002 the LORD, H3068 that I will sow H2232 H853 the house H1004 of Israel H3478 and the house H1004 of Judah H3063 with the seed H2233 of man, H120 and with the seed H2233 of beast. H929
28 And it shall come to pass, H1961 that like as H834 I have watched H8245 over H5921 them , to pluck up, H5428 and to break down, H5422 and to throw down, H2040 and to destroy, H6 and to afflict; H7489 so H3651 will I watch H8245 over H5921 them , to build, H1129 and to plant, H5193 saith H5002 the LORD. H3068
29 In those H1992 days H3117 they shall say H559 no H3808 more, H5750 The fathers H1 have eaten H398 a sour grape, H1155 and the children's H1121 teeth H8127 are set on edge. H6949
30 But H3588 H518 every one H376 shall die H4191 for his own iniquity: H5771 every H3605 man H120 that eateth H398 the sour grape, H1155 his teeth H8127 shall be set on edge. H6949
31 Behold H2009 , the days H3117 come, H935 saith H5002 the LORD, H3068 that I will make H3772 a new H2319 covenant H1285 with H854 the house H1004 of Israel, H3478 and with H854 the house H1004 of Judah: H3063
32 Not H3808 according to the covenant H1285 that H834 I made H3772 with H854 their fathers H1 in the day H3117 that I took H2388 them by the hand H3027 to bring H3318 them out of the land H4480 H776 of Egypt; H4714 which H834 H853 my covenant H1285 they H1992 broke, H6565 although I H595 was a husband H1166 unto them, saith H5002 the LORD: H3068
33 But H3588 this H2063 shall be the covenant H1285 that H834 I will make H3772 with H854 the house H1004 of Israel; H3478 After H310 those H1992 days, H3117 saith H5002 the LORD, H3068 I will put H5414 H853 my law H8451 in their inward parts, H7130 and write H3789 it in H5921 their hearts; H3820 and will be H1961 their God, H430 and they H1992 shall be H1961 my people. H5971
34 And they shall teach H3925 no H3808 more H5750 every man H376 H853 his neighbor, H7453 and every man H376 H853 his brother, H251 saying, H559 Know H3045 H853 the LORD: H3068 for H3588 they shall all H3605 know H3045 me , from the least H4480 H6996 of them unto H5704 the greatest H1419 of them, saith H5002 the LORD: H3068 for H3588 I will forgive H5545 their iniquity, H5771 and I will remember H2142 their sin H2403 no H3808 more. H5750
35 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD, H3068 which giveth H5414 the sun H8121 for a light H216 by day, H3119 and the ordinances H2708 of the moon H3394 and of the stars H3556 for a light H216 by night, H3915 which divideth H7280 the sea H3220 when the waves H1530 thereof roar; H1993 The LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 is his name: H8034
36 If H518 those H428 ordinances H2706 depart H4185 from before H4480 H6440 me, saith H5002 the LORD, H3068 then the seed H2233 of Israel H3478 also H1571 shall cease H7673 from being H4480 H1961 a nation H1471 before H6440 me forever H3605 H3117 .
37 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD; H3068 If H518 heaven H8064 above H4480 H4605 can be measured, H4058 and the foundations H4146 of the earth H776 searched out H2713 beneath, H4295 I H589 will also H1571 cast off H3988 all H3605 the seed H2233 of Israel H3478 for H5921 all H3605 that H834 they have done, H6213 saith H5002 the LORD. H3068
38 Behold H2009 , the days H3117 come, H935 saith H5002 the LORD, H3068 that the city H5892 shall be built H1129 to the LORD H3068 from the tower H4480 H4026 of Hananeel H2606 unto the gate H8179 of the corner. H6438
39 And the measuring H4060 line H6957 shall yet H5750 go forth H3318 over against H5048 it upon H5921 the hill H1389 Gareb, H1619 and shall compass about H5437 to Goath. H1601
40 And the whole H3605 valley H6010 of the dead bodies, H6297 and of the ashes, H1880 and all H3605 the fields H8309 unto H5704 the brook H5158 of Kidron, H6939 unto H5704 the corner H6438 of the horse H5483 gate H8179 toward the east, H4217 shall be holy H6944 unto the LORD; H3068 it shall not H3808 be plucked up, H5428 nor H3808 thrown down H2040 any more H5750 forever.
