Jeremiah 31 (kjv)

At the same time^H6256, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, will I be the God^H430 of all the families^H4940 of Israel^H3478, and they shall be my people^H5971.²Thus 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^H7280.³The LORD^H3068 hath appeared^H7200 of old^H7350 unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved^H157 thee with an everlasting^H5769 love^H160: therefore with lovingkindness^H2617 have I drawn^H4900 thee.⁴Again I will build^H1129 thee, and thou shalt be built^H1129, O virgin^H1330 of Israel^H3478: thou shalt again be adorned^H5710 with thy tabrets^H8596, and shalt go forth^H3318 in the dances^H4234 of them that make merry^H7832.⁵Thou shalt yet plant^H5193 vines^H3754 upon the mountains^H2022 of Samaria^H8111: the planters^H5193 shall plant^H5193, and shall eat them as common things^H2490.⁶For 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 the LORD^H3068 our God^H430.⁷For thus 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 thy people^H5971, the remnant^H7611 of Israel^H3478.⁸Behold, I will bring^H935 them from the north^H6828 country^H776, and gather^H6908 them from the coasts^H3411 of the earth^H776, and with them the blind^H5787 and the lame^H6455, the woman with child^H2030 and her that travaileth with child^H3205 together^H3162: a great^H1419 company^H6951 shall return^H7725 thither.⁹They shall come^H935 with weeping^H1065, and with supplications^H8469 will I lead^H2986 them: I will cause them to walk^H3212 by the rivers^H5158 of waters^H4325 in a straight^H3477 way^H1870, wherein they shall not stumble^H3782: for I am a father^H1 to Israel^H3478, and Ephraim^H669 is my firstborn^H1060.

¹⁰Hear^H8085 the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, O ye nations^H1471, and declare^H5046 it in the isles^H339 afar off^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^H5739.¹¹For the LORD^H3068 hath redeemed^H6299 Jacob^H3290, and ransomed^H1350 him from the hand^H3027 of him that was stronger^H2389 than he.¹²Therefore they shall come^H935 and sing^H7442 in the height^H4791 of Zion^H6726, and shall flow together^H5102 to the goodness^H2898 of the LORD^H3068, for wheat^H1715, and for wine^H8492, and for oil^H3323, and for the young^H1121 of the flock^H6629 and of the herd^H1241: and their soul^H5315 shall be as a watered^H7302 garden^H1588; and they shall not sorrow^H1669 any more^H3254 at all.¹³Then 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^H3015.¹⁴And I will satiate^H7301 the soul^H5315 of the priests^H3548 with fatness^H1880, and my people^H5971 shall be satisfied^H7646 with my goodness^H2898, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.

¹⁵Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068; A voice^H6963 was heard^H8085 in Ramah^H7414, lamentation^H5092, and bitter^H8563 weeping^H1065; Rahel^H7354 weeping^H1058 for her children^H1121 refused^H3985 to be comforted^H5162 for her children^H1121, because they were not.¹⁶Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068; Refrain^H4513 thy voice^H6963 from weeping^H1065, and thine eyes^H5869 from tears^H1832: for thy work^H6468 shall be^H3426 rewarded^H7939, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068; and they shall come again^H7725 from the land^H776 of the enemy^H341.¹⁷And 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.

¹⁸I have surely^H8085 heard^H8085 Ephraim^H669 bemoaning^H5110 himself 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 thou art the LORD^H3068 my God^H430.¹⁹Surely after^H310 that I was turned^H7725, I repented^H5162; and after^H310 that I was instructed^H3045, I smote^H5606 upon my thigh^H3409: I was ashamed^H954, yea, even confounded^H3637, because I did bear^H5375 the reproach^H2781 of my youth^H5271.²⁰Is Ephraim^H669 my dear^H3357 son^H1121? is he a pleasant^H8191 child^H3206? for since^H1767 I spake^H1696 against him, I do earnestly^H2142 remember^H2142 him still: therefore my bowels^H4578 are troubled^H1993 for him; I will surely^H7355 have mercy^H7355 upon him, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.²¹Set 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 these thy cities^H5892.

²²How long wilt thou go about^H2559, O thou backsliding^H7728 daughter^H1323? for the LORD^H3068 hath created^H1254 a new thing^H2319 in the earth^H776, A woman^H5347 shall compass^H5437 a man^H1397.²³Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H430 of Israel^H3478; As yet they shall use^H559 this speech^H1697 in the land^H776 of Judah^H3063 and in the cities^H5892 thereof, when I shall bring again^H7725 their captivity^H7622; The LORD^H3068 bless^H1288 thee, O habitation^H5116 of justice^H6664, and mountain^H2022 of holiness^H6944.²⁴And there shall dwell^H3427 in Judah^H3063 itself, and in all the cities^H5892 thereof together^H3162, husbandmen^H406, and they that go forth^H5265 with flocks^H5739.²⁵For I have satiated^H7301 the weary^H5889 soul^H5315, and I have replenished^H4390 every sorrowful^H1669 soul^H5315.²⁶Upon this I awaked^H6974, and beheld^H7200; and my sleep^H8142 was sweet^H6149 unto me.

²⁷Behold, the days^H3117 come^H935, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, that I will sow^H2232 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^H929.²⁸And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over^H8245 them, to pluck up^H5428, and to break down^H5422, and to throw down^H2040, and to destroy^H6, and to afflict^H7489; so will I watch over^H8245 them, to build^H1129, and to plant^H5193, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.²⁹In those days^H3117 they shall say^H559 no more, The fathers^H1 have eaten^H398 a sour grape^H1155, and the children's^H1121 teeth^H8127 are set on edge^H6949.³⁰But every one^H376 shall die^H4191 for his own iniquity^H5771: every man^H120 that eateth^H398 the sour grape^H1155, his teeth^H8127 shall be set on edge^H6949.

³¹Behold, the days^H3117 come^H935, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, that I will make^H3772 a new^H2319 covenant^H1285 with the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478, and with the house^H1004 of Judah^H3063:³²Not according to the covenant^H1285 that I made^H3772 with their fathers^H1 in the day^H3117 that I took^H2388 them by the hand^H3027 to bring them out^H3318 of the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714; which my covenant^H1285 they brake^H6565, although I was an husband^H1166 unto them, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068:³³But this shall be the covenant^H1285 that I will make^H3772 with the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478; After^H310 those days^H3117, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, I will put^H5414 my law^H8451 in their inward parts^H7130, and write^H3789 it in their hearts^H3820; and will be their God^H430, and they shall be my people^H5971.³⁴And they shall teach^H3925 no more every man^H376 his neighbour^H7453, and every man^H376 his brother^H251, saying^H559, Know^H3045 the LORD^H3068: for they shall all know^H3045 me, from the least^H6996 of them unto the greatest^H1419 of them, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068: for I will forgive^H5545 their iniquity^H5771, and I will remember^H2142 their sin^H2403 no more.

³⁵Thus 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^H8034:³⁶If those ordinances^H2706 depart^H4185 from before^H6440 me, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, then the seed^H2233 of Israel^H3478 also shall cease^H7673 from being a nation^H1471 before^H6440 me for ever^H3117.³⁷Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068; If heaven^H8064 above^H4605 can be measured^H4058, and the foundations^H4146 of the earth^H776 searched out^H2713 beneath^H4295, I will also cast off^H3988 all the seed^H2233 of Israel^H3478 for all that they have done^H6213, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.

³⁸Behold, 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^H4026 of Hananeel^H2606 unto the gate^H8179 of the corner^H6438.³⁹And the measuring^H4060 line^{H6957 H6961} shall yet go forth^H3318 over against it upon the hill^H1389 Gareb^H1619, and shall compass about^H5437 to Goath^H1601.⁴⁰And the whole valley^H6010 of the dead bodies^H6297, and of the ashes^H1880, and all the fields^{H7709 H8309} unto the brook^H5158 of Kidron^H6939, unto the corner^H6438 of the horse^H5483 gate^H8179 toward the east^H4217, shall be holy^H6944 unto the LORD^H3068; it shall not be plucked up^H5428, nor thrown down^H2040 any more for ever^H5769.
