King James Version
“
At that
time, ”
declares
the LORD, “I
will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will
be My people. ”
At the
same
time, saith
the LORD, will I
be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall
be my people.
This
is
what
the LORD says:
“
The people who
survived
the sword found favor
in the wilderness when
Israel went to find
rest. ”
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.
The LORD appeared to
us
in
the
past
, saying :
“
I have loved you
with an everlasting love ;
therefore I
have drawn you
with
loving
devotion
.
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
.
Again I will build you
, and you
will
be rebuilt
, O Virgin Israel .
Again you
will
take
up
your
tambourines
and go out
in joyful
dancing
.
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
.
Again
you
will
plant vineyards
on
the hills
of Samaria ;
the farmers
will
plant and enjoy
the
fruit
.
Thou
shalt
yet
plant vines
upon
the mountains
of Samaria :
the planters
shall
plant ,
and shall
eat
them
as
common
things
.
For there will
be a day when
watchmen will
call
out
on
the hills
of
Ephraim, ‘
Arise, let us go up to Zion ,
to
the LORD our God !’”
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 .
For this
is
what
the LORD says:
“
Sing with joy
for Jacob ;
shout for
the foremost
of the nations !
Make
your
praises
heard
, and say, ‘
O LORD, save Your
people, the remnant of Israel !’
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 .
Behold, I will bring them from the land
of
the
north and gather them from the farthest
parts
of the earth, including
the blind and the lame, expectant
mothers
and women
in
labor.
They
will
return
as
a great assembly!
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.
They will
come with weeping, and by
their
supplication
I
will lead them ;
I will make
them walk beside
streams
of waters ,
on
a level
path
where
they will
not stumble .
For I am Israel’s
Father, and Ephraim is My firstborn. ”
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.
Hear ,
O
nations,
the word of the LORD, and proclaim
it in distant
coastlands:
“
The One
who
scattered Israel will gather them
and keep them
as a shepherd keeps
his flock.
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.
For the LORD has
ransomed
Jacob and redeemed
him from the hand that
had
overpowered
him.
For the LORD hath
redeemed
Jacob ,
and ransomed
him from the hand of
him that
was
stronger
than
he
.
They will
come and shout
for
joy
on
the heights
of Zion ;
they
will
be
radiant
over
the bounty
of the LORD —
the
grain
, new
wine, and oil, and the young of the flocks
and herds.
Their life
will
be like
a well-
watered garden ,
and never
again
will
they languish
.
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
.
Then the maidens
will
rejoice with
dancing
, young men and old as
well.
I will turn their mourning into joy, and give
them
comfort and joy
for
their sorrow.
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.
I will fill
the souls
of the priests abundantly
, and will
fill
My people with My goodness, ”
declares
the LORD.
And
I will satiate
the soul
of the priests with
fatness
, and my people shall
be
satisfied
with my goodness, saith
the LORD.
This
is
what
the LORD says:
“
A voice is
heard in Ramah, mourning
and great
weeping ,
Rachel
weeping for her children ,
and
refusing
to be comforted, because they are
no
more
. ”
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
.
This
is
what
the LORD says:
“Keep
your
voice from weeping and your
eyes from tears ,
for
the
reward
for your
work will
come
, declares
the LORD .
Then
your
children
will
return
from the land of the enemy.
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.
So
there is hope for
your
future
, declares
the LORD, and
your
children will
return
to their own land
.
And
there is hope in
thine
end
, saith
the LORD, that
thy
children shall
come
again
to their own border
.
I have surely heard Ephraim’s
moaning:
‘You
disciplined
me severely
, like
an
untrained
calf.
Restore
me, that
I may
return,
for You
are
the LORD my God.
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.
After I returned
, I repented; and after I was instructed, I struck
my thigh in
grief.
I was ashamed and
humiliated
because I bore
the disgrace
of my youth. ’
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.
Is not
Ephraim a
precious
son to
Me,
a delightful
child? Though
I often
speak
against him, I still
remember him .
Therefore My heart
yearns
for him; I have great
compassion
for
him, ”
declares
the LORD.
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.
“
Set up the
roadmarks
, establish
the
signposts.
Keep
the highway in
mind
, the road
you
have
traveled.
Return
, O Virgin Israel, return
to these cities of
yours
.
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.
How long will
you
wander
, O faithless
daughter? For the LORD has
created a new thing in the land—
a woman will
shelter
a man. ”
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.
This
is
what
the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel ,
says:
“When
I
restore
them
from
captivity,
they will
once
again
speak
this word
in the land of Judah and in its
cities :
‘May
the LORD bless you
, O righteous
dwelling
place
, O
holy
mountain. ’
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
.
And Judah and all its
cities will
dwell
together in
the
land
, the
farmers
and those
who
move
with the
flocks ,
And there
shall
dwell
in
Judah itself,
and in
all the
cities thereof
together, husbandmen,
and they
that
go
forth
with flocks .
for I will
refresh
the weary soul and replenish
all
who
are
weak
. ”
For I have
satiated
the weary soul ,
and I
have
replenished
every
sorrowful
soul
.
At
this I awoke
and looked
around.
My sleep had
been
most
pleasant
to
me.
Upon
this I awaked,
and beheld;
and
my sleep was
sweet
unto
me.
“
The days are
coming
, ”
declares
the LORD, “when
I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and of beast.
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.
Just
as I watched over them to uproot
and tear
down, to demolish
, destroy, and bring
disaster,
so I
will watch over them to build and to plant, ”
declares
the LORD.
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.
“
In those days ,
it
will
no longer
be
said:
‘
The fathers have eaten sour grapes
, and the teeth of
the
children
are set on edge. ’
In those days they
shall
say
no more,
The fathers have eaten a
sour grape
, and the children's
teeth are set on edge.
Instead,
each
will
die for his own iniquity .
If
anyone
eats
the sour grapes
, his own
teeth will
be set on edge.
But
every
one
shall
die for his own iniquity :
every
man
that
eateth
the sour grape
, his teeth shall
be set on edge.
Behold, the days are
coming
, declares
the LORD, when
I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah .
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 :
It
will
not be
like
the covenant I made with their fathers when
I took them by the hand to lead
them out of the land of Egypt —
a
covenant they broke
, though
I was a
husband to
them, ”
declares
the LORD .
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 :
“
But this is
the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares
the LORD .
I will put My law in their minds
and inscribe
it on
their hearts .
And I
will be their God, and they will
be My people.
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.
No longer
will
each
man teach
his neighbor
or
his brother, saying, ‘
Know the LORD ,’
because
they will
all know Me, from the least of them to
the greatest, declares
the LORD .
For I will forgive their iniquities
and will remember their sins
no more. ”
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.
Thus says
the LORD, who
gives
the sun for light by day, who
sets
in
order
the moon and stars for light by night, who
stirs
up
the sea so
that
its
waves roar —
the LORD of Hosts is His name:
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:
“Only
if this
fixed
order
departed
from My
presence
, declares
the LORD, would
Israel’s
descendants
ever
cease to
be
a nation before Me. ”
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
.
This
is
what
the LORD says:
“Only
if the
heavens
above could
be measured and the foundations of the earth below
searched out would
I reject
all of
Israel’s
descendants
because
of all they have done, ”
declares
the LORD.
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.
“
The days are
coming
, ”
declares
the LORD, “when
this
city will
be rebuilt
for
Me,
from the tower of Hananel
to
the Corner
Gate.
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
.
The measuring line will
once
again
stretch
out
straight
to
the hill of
Gareb and then
turn
toward
Goah
.
And
the measuring line shall
yet
go
forth
over
against
it
upon
the hill Gareb ,
and shall
compass
about
to
Goath
.
The whole valley of the dead bodies and ashes, and all the fields as
far
as
the Kidron Valley
, to
the corner of the Horse Gate to
the east, will
be holy to
the LORD .
It will
never
again
be uprooted
or
demolished
. ”
And
the whole valley of the dead bodies ,
and of
the
ashes, and all the fields unto
the brook
of
Kidron, unto
the corner of the horse gate toward
the east, shall
be holy unto
the LORD ;
it shall
not
be plucked
up,
nor
thrown
down
any
more
for
ever
.
