I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall

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.
This
is
what
the
LORD
says :
“
The people who survived
the sword found favor in the wilderness when Israel
went to find
rest. ”
Yahweh
appeared of
old
to me
, [
saying ],
Yes,
I have loved you with an everlasting love :
therefore with
loving
kindness
have
I drawn you.
The
LORD
appeared to us
in

drawn you with
loving

Again will
I build you, and you shall
be built

Israel :

adorned
with
your tambourines ,
and shall
go forth
in the
dances
of
those
who
make
merry
.
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 shall
you plant vineyards on the mountains

it]

our God .

be a day when
watchmen will
call
out
on the hills of Ephraim, ‘
Arise, let us go up to Zion ,

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 .
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 !’
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.
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!
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.
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. ”
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.
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.
For Yahweh
has ransomed Jacob ,
and redeemed him from the hand of
him who
was
stronger
than
he
.
For the
LORD
has ransomed Jacob and redeemed him from the hand that
had
overpowered
him.
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
.
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
.
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.
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.
I will satiate
the soul
of the priests with
fatness
, and my people shall
be
satisfied
with my goodness, says
Yahweh
.
I will fill
the souls
of the priests abundantly
, and will
fill
My people with My goodness, ”
declares
the
LORD
.
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.
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
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.
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.
There is hope for your latter
end
, says
Yahweh;
and [
your ]
children shall
come
again
to their own border
.
So
there is hope for your future
, declares
the
LORD,
and your children will
return
to their own land
.
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.
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.
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.
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. ’
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
.
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
.
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.
“
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
.
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.
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. ”
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
.
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. ’
Judah and all the
cities of
it
shall
dwell therein
together, the farmers ,
and those who go
about
with flocks .
And
Judah and all its
cities will
dwell together in
the
land
, the farmers and those who move
with the
flocks ,
For I have
satiated
the weary soul ,
and every
sorrowful
soul
have
I
replenished
.
for I will
refresh
the weary soul and replenish
all
who
are
weak
. ”
On
this I awakened,
and
saw;
and my sleep was
sweet
to me.
At
this I awoke
and looked
around.
My sleep had
been
most
pleasant
to me.
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
.
“
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
.
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
.
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
.
In those days they
shall
say
no
more
, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's
teeth are set on edge.
“
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. ’
But
everyone
shall
die for his own iniquity :
every
man
who
eats the sour grapes, his teeth shall
be 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.
Behold, the days come
, says
Yahweh
, that
I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel ,
and with the house of Judah :
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 .
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
.
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
.
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 :
“
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 .
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.
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. ”
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:
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:
If these
ordinances
depart
from before
me,
says
Yahweh
, then
the seed
of
Israel
also
shall
cease from
being
a nation before me forever
.
“Only
if this
fixed
order
departed
from My
presence
, declares
the LORD,
would
Israel’s
descendants
ever
cease to
be
a nation before Me. ”
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
.
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
.
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.
“
The days are
coming
, ”
declares
the LORD,
“when
this
city will
be rebuilt
for
Me,
from the tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate
.
The measuring line shall
go
out further
straight onward
to the hill Gareb ,
and shall
turn about
to
Goah.
The measuring line will
once
again
stretch
out straight to the hill of
Gareb and then
turn toward
Goah.
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
.
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
. ”
