Israel’s Return Home

31The LORD says, "The time is coming when I will be the God of all the tribes of Israel, and they will be my people.H6256H5002H3068H430H4940H3478H5971
2In the desert I showed mercy to those people who had escaped death. When the people of Israel longed for rest,H559H3068H5971H8300H2719H4672H2580H4057H3478H1980H7280
3I appeared to them from far away. People of Israel, I have always loved you, so I continue to show you my constant love.H3068H7200H7350H157H5769H160H2617H4900
4Once again I will rebuild you. Once again you will take up your tambourines and dance joyfully.H1129H1129H1330H3478H5710H8596H3318H4234H7832
5Once again you will plant vineyards on the hills of Samaria, and those who plant them will eat what the vineyards produce.H5193H3754H2022H8111H5193H5193H2490
6Yes, the time is coming when sentries will call out on the hills of Ephraim, 'Let's go up to Zion, to the LORD our God.' "H3426H3117H5341H2022H669H7121H6965H5927H6726H3068H430
7The LORD says, "Sing with joy for Israel, the greatest of the nations. Sing your song of praise, 'The LORD has saved his people; he has rescued all who are left.'H559H3068H7442H8057H3290H6670H7218H1471H8085H1984H559H3068H3467H5971H7611H3478
8I will bring them from the north and gather them from the ends of the earth. The blind and the lame will come with them, pregnant women and those about to give birth. They will come back a great nation.H935H6828H776H6908H3411H776H5787H6455H2030H3205H3162H1419H6951H7725
9My people will return weeping, praying as I lead them back. I will guide them to streams of water, on a smooth road where they will not stumble. I am like a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my oldest son."H935H1065H8469H2986H3212H5158H4325H3477H1870H3782H1H3478H669H1060
10The LORD says, "Nations, listen to me and proclaim my words on the far-off shores. I scattered my people, but I will gather them and guard them as a shepherd guards his flock.H8085H1697H3068H1471H5046H339H4801H559H2219H3478H6908H8104H7462H5739
11I have set Israel's people free and have saved them from a mighty nation.H3068H6299H3290H1350H3027H2389
12They will come and sing for joy on Mount Zion and be delighted with my gifts - gifts of grain and wine and olive oil, gifts of sheep and cattle. They will be like a well-watered garden; they will have everything they need.H935H7442H4791H6726H5102H2898H3068H1715H8492H3323H1121H6629H1241H5315H7302H1588H1669H3254
13Then the young women will dance and be happy, and men, young and old, will rejoice. I will comfort them and turn their mourning into joy, their sorrow into gladness.H1330H8055H4234H970H2205H3162H2015H60H8342H5162H8055H3015
14I will fill the priests with the richest food and satisfy all the needs of my people. I, the LORD, have spoken."H7301H5315H3548H1880H5971H7646H2898H5002H3068

The Lord’s Mercy on Israel

15The LORD says, "A sound is heard in Ramah, the sound of bitter weeping. Rachel is crying for her children; they are gone, and she refuses to be comforted.H559H3068H6963H8085H7414H5092H8563H1065H7354H1058H1121H3985H5162H1121
16Stop your crying and wipe away your tears. All that you have done for your children will not go unrewarded; they will return from the enemy's land.H559H3068H4513H6963H1065H5869H1832H6468H3426H7939H5002H3068H7725H776H341
17There is hope for your future; your children will come back home. I, the LORD, have spoken.H3426H8615H319H5002H3068H1121H7725H1366
18"I hear the people of Israel say in grief, ' LORD, we were like an untamed animal, but you taught us to obey. Bring us back; we are ready to return to you, the LORD our God.H8085H8085H669H5110H3256H3256H5695H3808H3925H7725H7725H3068H430
19We turned away from you, but soon we wanted to return. After you had punished us, we hung our heads in grief. We were ashamed and disgraced because we sinned when we were young.'H310H7725H5162H310H3045H5606H3409H954H3637H5375H2781H5271
20"Israel, you are my dearest child, the one I love best. Whenever I mention your name, I think of you with love. My heart goes out to you; I will be merciful.H669H3357H1121H8191H3206H1767H1696H2142H2142H4578H1993H7355H7355H5002H3068
21Set up signs and mark the road; find again the way by which you left. Come back, people of Israel, come home to the towns you left.H5324H6725H7760H8564H7896H3820H4546H1870H1980H7725H1330H3478H7725H5892
22How long will you hesitate, faithless people? I have created something new and different, as different as a woman protecting a man."H2559H7728H1323H3068H1254H2319H776H5347H5437H1397

The Future Prosperity of God’s People

23The LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says, "When I restore the people to their land, they will once again say in the land of Judah and in its towns, 'May the LORD bless the sacred hill of Jerusalem, the holy place where he lives.'H559H3068H6635H430H3478H559H1697H776H3063H5892H7725H7622H3068H1288H5116H6664H2022H6944
24People will live in Judah and in all its towns, and there will be farmers, and shepherds with their flocks.H3427H3063H5892H3162H406H5265H5739
25I will refresh those who are weary and will satisfy with food everyone who is weak from hunger.H7301H5889H5315H4390H1669H5315
26So then, people will say, 'I went to sleep and woke up refreshed.'H6974H7200H8142H6149
27"I, the LORD, say that the time is coming when I will fill the land of Israel and Judah with people and animals.H3117H935H5002H3068H2232H1004H3478H1004H3063H2233H120H2233H929
28And just as I took care to uproot, to pull down, to overthrow, to destroy, and to demolish them, so I will take care to plant them and to build them up.H8245H5428H5422H2040H6H7489H8245H1129H5193H5002H3068
29When that time comes, people will no longer say, 'The parents ate the sour grapes, But the children got the sour taste.'H3117H559H1H398H1155H1121H8127H6949
30Instead, those who eat sour grapes will have their own teeth set on edge; and everyone will die because of their own sin."H376H4191H5771H120H398H1155H8127H6949
31The LORD says, "The time is coming when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah.H3117H935H5002H3068H3772H2319H1285H1004H3478H1004H3063
32It will not be like the old covenant that I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand and led them out of Egypt. Although I was like a husband to them, they did not keep that covenant.H1285H3772H1H3117H2388H3027H3318H776H4714H1285H6565H1166H5002H3068
33The new covenant that I will make with the people of Israel will be this: I will put my law within them and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.H1285H3772H1004H3478H310H3117H5002H3068H5414H8451H7130H3789H3820H430H5971
34None of them will have to teach a neighbor to know the LORD, because all will know me, from the least to the greatest. I will forgive their sins and I will no longer remember their wrongs. I, the LORD, have spoken."H3925H376H7453H376H251H559H3045H3068H3045H6996H1419H5002H3068H5545H5771H2142H2403
35The LORD provides the sun for light by day, the moon and the stars to shine at night. He stirs up the sea and makes it roar; his name is the LORD Almighty.H559H3068H5414H8121H216H3119H2708H3394H3556H216H3915H7280H3220H1530H1993H3068H6635H8034
36He promises that as long as the natural order lasts, so long will Israel be a nation.H2706H4185H6440H5002H3068H2233H3478H7673H1471H6440H3117
37If one day the sky could be measured and the foundations of the earth explored, only then would he reject the people of Israel because of all they have done. The LORD has spoken.H559H3068H8064H4605H4058H4146H776H2713H4295H3988H2233H3478H6213H5002H3068
38"The time is coming," says the LORD, "when all of Jerusalem will be rebuilt as my city, from Hananel Tower west to the Corner Gate.H3117H935H5002H3068H5892H1129H3068H4026H2606H8179H6438
39And the boundary line will continue from there on the west to the hill of Gareb and then around to Goah.H4060H6957H6961H3318H1389H1619H5437H1601
40The entire valley, where the dead are buried and garbage is dumped, and all the fields above Kidron Brook as far as the Horse Gate to the east, will be sacred to me. The city will never again be torn down or destroyed."H6010H6297H1880H7709H8309H5158H6939H6438H5483H8179H4217H6944H3068H5428H2040H5769
