God to
all families of Israel, And they --

are
to
Me
for

Thus said
Jehovah:
Found grace in the wilderness Hath
a
people
remaining
from
the
sword
Going
to cause it
to rest --
Israel
.

the
LORD,
The
people
which
were
left
of
the
sword

afar
Jehovah

have drawn thee `with'
kindness

unto
me, saying,
Yea,

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 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

Again
thou dost
plant vineyards
In
mountains of Samaria ,

as
common things

O

Jacob,
`
with '
joy
, And cry
aloud
at
the head
of the nations ,
Sound
ye, praise ye, and say, Save,

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

bring

them from the coasts
of the earth, and
with
them the

with
child
and her

travaileth
with
child
together :
a great company

return
thither
.
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 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

not stumble:

a father to
Israel
, and Ephraim is my
firstborn

Hear a

, 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.
Therefore
they shall

flow
together
to

LORD
, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of

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

them above
their sorrow ,

virgin rejoice
in the

, 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 .

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.
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.
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.
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.
And there is hope for
thy
latter
end, An

back

their border.

end, saith
the LORD,

thy
children
shall
come
again

border.
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 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.
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.
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.
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 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
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 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.
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
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.
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.
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 dwelt
in Judah have
husbandmen
, and in all its
cities together, And they have
journeyed
in
order

shall
dwell
in Judah itself
, and in all the
cities thereof
together, husbandmen,
and they that
go
forth
with
flocks
.
For I have satiated the weary soul, And every
grieved
soul
I have filled
. '

sorrowful
soul
.
On
this I have
awaked, and I
behold,
and my sleep hath
been
sweet to
me.
Upon
this I awaked, and beheld;
and my sleep was
sweet unto
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 come
, saith
the
LORD
, that
I will
sow

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
.
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 they do
not
say any
more :
Fathers have eaten unripe
fruit
, And the sons'
teeth are blunted
.
In those days they shall
say no
more ,
The
fathers have eaten a
sour
grape
, and the children's
teeth are set
on
edge
.
But --
each
for his own iniquity doth
die,
Every man who
is
eating
the unripe
fruit
, Blunted
are
his teeth.
But every
one
shall
die
for his own iniquity :
every man that
eateth
the sour
grape
, his teeth shall
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 come
, saith
the
LORD
, that
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.
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:
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 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.
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.
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 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 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:
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
Lo
, days `are
coming'
, an

built to Jehovah,
From the tower of Hananeel to
the gate of the corner.
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.
And gone
out
again
hath
the measuring line Over -
against it ,
unto
the height
of
Gareb, And it
hath
compassed
to Goah
.
And the measuring line shall
yet
go
forth
over against it upon
the hill
Gareb, and shall
compass
about
to Goath
.
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!
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.
