Berean Standard Bible
At that time, an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, I am
for
God to
all families of Israel, And they --
they
are
to
Me
for
a
people.
“
At that time, ”
declares
the
LORD
, “
I will
be
the
God of
all the
families of Israel, and they will
be
My
people. ”
Thus
said
Jehovah
: Found
grace
in
the wilderness
Hath
a
people remaining
from
the sword Going
to
cause
it
to rest --
Israel
.
This
is
what
the
LORD
says
: “
The people who
survived
the sword found
favor
in
the
wilderness
when
Israel
went
to find
rest. ”
From
afar
Jehovah
hath
appeared to me
, With
love
age-during
I have loved thee,
Therefore I have drawn thee
`
with '
kindness
.
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
.
Again do
I build thee
, And thou
hast
been
built
, O virgin of
Israel ,
Again thou
puttest
on
thy
tabrets,
And hast
gone
out in the
chorus
of
the
playful
.
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 thou
dost
plant vineyards In
mountains
of Samaria ,
Planters
have
planted,
and made
common
.
Again you
will
plant vineyards on
the
hills
of Samaria ;
the
farmers
will
plant
and enjoy
the
fruit
.
For there is
a day ,
Cried
have
watchmen on mount
Ephraim, `Rise
, and
we
go up to Zion, unto
Jehovah
our God ;
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 thus
said
Jehovah
: Sing ,
O
ye
to
Jacob,
`
with '
joy ,
And
cry
aloud
at
the head
of the nations ,
Sound
ye,
praise
ye
, and say, Save,
O Jehovah
, thy
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 !’
Lo
, I am
bringing
them in
from the north country,
And have
gathered
them from the sides
of the earth, Among
them
`are'
blind and lame, Conceiving
and travailing
one
--
together,
A great assembly --
they
turn
back
hither.
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 !
With
weeping
they come in
, And with
supplications
I bring
them ,
I cause
them to
go
unto
streams of waters, In
a right
way
--
they stumble
not in
it,
For I have
been
to
Israel
for
a
father, And Ephraim --
My
first-born
`
is '
he
.
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 a
word
of
Jehovah
, O nations, And
declare
ye
among
isles
afar
off
, and say
: He
who is
scattering
Israel doth
gather him,
And hath
kept
him
as a shepherd `doth'
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 Jehovah
hath
ransomed Jacob ,
And redeemed him from a
hand stronger
than
he
.
For the
LORD
has
ransomed Jacob and redeemed him from the
hand that
had
overpowered
him
.
And
they have
come in,
And have
sung
in
the high
place
of Zion ,
And
flowed
unto
the goodness
of Jehovah,
For
wheat
, and
for
new wine, and for
oil, And for
the young of the flock
and
herd,
And their soul
hath
been
as
a watered garden, And they add
not
to
grieve
any
more
.
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 rejoice doth
a
virgin
in
a
chorus
, Both
young men and old men
--
together,
And
I have
turned
their mourning to
joy, And have
comforted
them ,
And gladdened
them
above
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 .
And
satisfied
the soul
of the priests `with'
fatness
, And My people with My goodness are
satisfied
, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
I
will
fill
the souls
of the priests abundantly
, and will
fill
My people with My goodness, ”
declares
the
LORD
.
Thus
said
Jehovah,
A voice in
Ramah
is heard ,
wailing
, weeping most
bitter
, Rachel is
weeping for her sons
, She
hath
refused
to be comforted for
her
sons
, because they are not
.
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
said
Jehovah
: Withhold
thy
voice from weeping ,
and thine
eyes from tears, For there
is
a
reward for thy
work ,
An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, And
they
have
turned
back
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.
And
there is hope for thy
latter
end
, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, And the
sons
have
turned
back
`
to '
their 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,
`Thou
hast
chastised
me ,
And
I
am
chastised,
as
a
heifer
not
taught
, Turn
me back
, and
I turn
back
, For thou
`art'
Jehovah
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.
For
after my
turning
back
I repented
, And after my
being
instructed I struck on
the
thigh ,
I have
been
ashamed ,
I
have
also
blushed,
For
I have
borne
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. ’
A precious son is
Ephraim
to Me ?
A child of
delights
? For
since
My
speaking
against him, I do
thoroughly
remember him still,
Therefore have
My bowels
been
moved
for him ,
I do
greatly
love
him, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
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 for
thee
signs,
make
for
thee
heaps
, Set
thy
heart
to
the highway, the way
thou
wentest,
Turn
back
, O virgin of
Israel, Turn
back
unto
these thy
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
.
Till
when
dost
thou
withdraw
thyself
, O backsliding
daughter? For Jehovah
hath
prepared
a new thing in the land ,
Woman doth
compass
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
said
Jehovah
of Hosts, God of Israel, Still
they say
this word in the land of Judah ,
And in its cities ,
In
My
turning
back
`to'
their
captivity,
Jehovah
doth
bless thee
, 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. ’
And dwelt
in
Judah have
husbandmen,
and in
all its cities together, And they
have
journeyed
in
order.
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
grieved
soul
I
have
filled
. '
for I will
refresh
the weary soul and replenish
all
who
are
weak
. ”
On
this I have
awaked,
and
I
behold,
and my sleep hath
been sweet
to me.
At
this I awoke
and looked
around.
My sleep had
been most
pleasant
to me.
Lo,
days are coming, an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, And
I have
sown
the house of Israel ,
And the house of Judah ,
With seed of man ,
and seed
of beast.
“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.
And
it
hath
been,
as I watched over them to pluck
up,
And to
break
down, and
to throw
down
, And
to
destroy, and to
afflict;
So do
I watch over them to build ,
and to plant, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
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
do
not
say
any
more
: Fathers have eaten unripe
fruit
, And the sons'
teeth are blunted
.
“
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
--
each for his own iniquity doth
die,
Every
man
who
is
eating
the unripe
fruit
, Blunted
are
his teeth.
Instead,
each will
die
for his own iniquity .
If
anyone
eats
the sour
grapes
, his own
teeth will
be
set
on
edge
.
Lo
, days are coming, an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, And
I have
made
with the house of Israel And with the house of Judah a
new
covenant,
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 like the covenant that
I made with their fathers ,
In
the day
of
My
laying
hold
on
their
hand ,
To bring
them out of the land of Egypt ,
In
that
they
made
void
My
covenant, And
I ruled
over
them --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
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
.
For
this `
is '
the covenant that
I make ,
With the house of Israel ,
after those days, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah,
I have
given
My law in their inward
part,
And on their heart
I
do
write
it,
And I have
been
to
them
for
God, And they are
to
me
for
a
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
do
not
teach
any
more
Each his neighbour,
and
each
his brother, Saying, Know ye
Jehovah
, For
they all know Me, from their
least unto
their
greatest, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah;
For I pardon
their iniquity,
And of
their sin
I
make
mention
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 said
Jehovah
, Who is
giving
the sun for a
light by day, The statutes
of
moon and stars for a
light by night, Quieting
the sea when
its billows
roar ,
Jehovah
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
statutes
depart
from before
Me,
An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, Even
the seed
of
Israel
doth
cease From
being
a nation before Me all
the
days
.
“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
said
Jehovah
: If the heavens above be measured ,
And the foundations of earth below searched ,
Even
I kick
against
all the
seed
of Israel,
For
all that
they have done, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
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
.
Lo,
days `
are coming '
, an
affirmation
of
Jehovah,
And
the city hath
been
built
to
Jehovah
, From the tower of Hananeel
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
.
And
gone
out
again
hath
the measuring line Over-against
it,
unto
the height
of Gareb ,
And it
hath
compassed
to
Goah.
The measuring line will
once
again
stretch
out
straight
to
the hill
of Gareb and then
turn
toward
Goah.
And
all
the valley of the carcases
and of
the
ashes, And all the fields unto
the brook
Kidron, Unto
the corner of the horse -
gate eastward,
`Are'
holy
to Jehovah,
it
is
not
plucked
up
, Nor
is
it
thrown
down
any
more
to the age!
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.”
