At that time,{H6256} saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} will I be the God{H430} of all the families{H4940} of Israel,{H3478} and they shall be my people.{H5971}

Thus saith{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} The people{H5971} that were left{H8300} of the sword{H2719} found{H4672} favor{H2580} in the wilderness;{H4057} even Israel,{H3478} when I went{H1980} to cause him to rest.{H7280}

Jehovah{H3068} 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.

Again will I build{H1129} thee, and thou shalt be built,{H1129} O virgin{H1330} of Israel:{H3478} again shalt thou be adorned{H5710} with thy tabrets,{H8596} and shalt go forth{H3318} in the dances{H4234} of them that make merry.{H7832}

Again shalt thou plant{H5193} vineyards{H3754} upon the mountains{H2022} of Samaria;{H8111} the planters{H5193} shall plant,{H5193} and shall enjoy [the fruit]{H2490} [thereof].

For there shall be{H3426} a day,{H3117} that the watchmen{H5341} upon the hills{H2022} of Ephraim{H669} shall cry,{H7121} Arise{H6965} ye, and let us go up{H5927} to Zion{H6726} unto Jehovah{H3068} our God.{H430}

For thus saith{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} Sing{H7442} with gladness{H8057} for Jacob,{H3290} and shout{H6670} for the chief{H7218} of the nations:{H1471} publish{H8085} ye, praise{H1984} ye, and say,{H559} O Jehovah,{H3068} save{H3467} thy people,{H5971} the remnant{H7611} of Israel.{H3478}

Behold, I will bring{H935} them from the north{H6828} country,{H776} and gather{H6908} them from the uttermost parts{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 they return{H7725} hither.

They shall come{H935} with weeping;{H1065} and with supplications{H8469} will I lead{H2986} them: I will cause them to walk{H3212} by 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 first-born.{H1060}

Hear{H8085} the word{H1697} of Jehovah,{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}

For Jehovah{H3068} hath ransomed{H1350} Jacob,{H3290} and redeemed{H6299} him from the hand{H3027} of him that was stronger{H2389} than he.

And they shall come{H935} and sing{H7442} in the height{H4791} of Zion,{H6726} and shall flow unto{H5102} the goodness{H2898} of Jehovah,{H3068} to the grain,{H1715} and to the new wine,{H8492} and to the oil,{H3323} and to 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.

Then shall the virgin{H1330} rejoice{H8055} in the dance,{H4234} and the young men{H970} and the 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}

And 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} Jehovah.{H3068}

Thus saith{H559} Jehovah:{H3068} A voice{H6963} is heard{H8085} in Ramah,{H7414} lamentation,{H5092} and bitter{H8563} weeping,{H1065} Rachel{H7354} weeping{H1058} for her children;{H1121} she refuseth{H3985} to be comforted{H5162} for her children,{H1121} because they are not.

Thus saith{H559} Jehovah:{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} Jehovah;{H3068} and they shall come again{H7725} from the land{H776} of the enemy.{H341}

And there is{H3426} hope{H8615} for thy latter end,{H319} saith{H5002} Jehovah;{H3068} and [thy] children{H1121} shall come again{H7725} to their own border.{H1366}

I have surely{H8085} heard{H8085} Ephraim{H669} bemoaning{H5110} himself [thus], Thou hast chastised{H3256} me, and I was chastised,{H3256} as a calf{H5695} unaccustomed{H3808} [to the yoke]: turn{H7725} thou me, and I shall be turned;{H7725} for thou art Jehovah{H3068} my God.{H430}

Surely 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}

Is Ephraim{H669} my dear{H3357} son?{H1121} is he a darling{H8191} child?{H3206} for as often{H1767} as I speak{H1696} against him, I do earnestly{H2142} remember{H2142} him still: therefore my heart{H4578} yearneth{H1993} for him; I will surely{H7355} have mercy{H7355} upon him, saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068}

Set thee up{H5324} waymarks,{H6725} make{H7760} thee guide-posts;{H8564} set{H7896} thy heart{H3820} toward the highway,{H4546} even the way{H1870} by which thou wentest:{H1980} turn again,{H7725} O virgin{H1330} of Israel,{H3478} turn again{H7725} to these thy cities.{H5892}

How long wilt thou go hither{H2559} and thither, O thou backsliding{H7728} daughter?{H1323} for Jehovah{H3068} hath created{H1254} a new thing{H2319} in the earth:{H776} a woman{H5347} shall encompass{H5437} a man.{H1397}

Thus saith{H559} Jehovah{H3068} of hosts,{H6635} the God{H430} of Israel,{H3478} Yet again shall they 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} Jehovah{H3068} bless{H1288} thee, O habitation{H5116} of righteousness,{H6664} O mountain{H2022} of holiness.{H6944}

And Judah{H3063} and all the cities{H5892} thereof shall dwell{H3427} therein together,{H3162} the husbandmen,{H406} and they that go about{H5265} with flocks.{H5739}

For I have satiated{H7301} the weary{H5889} soul,{H5315} and every sorrowful{H1669} soul{H5315} have I replenished.{H4390}

Upon this I awaked,{H6974} and beheld;{H7200} and my sleep{H8142} was sweet{H6149} unto me.

Behold, the days{H3117} come,{H935} saith{H5002} Jehovah,{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}

And 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 overthrow{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} Jehovah.{H3068}

In those days{H3117} they shall say{H559} no more, The fathers{H1} have eaten{H398} sour grapes,{H1155} and the children's{H1121} teeth{H8127} are set on edge.{H6949}

But every one{H376} shall die{H4191} for his own iniquity:{H5771} every man{H120} that eateth{H398} the sour grapes,{H1155} his teeth{H8127} shall be set on edge.{H6949}

Behold, the days{H3117} come,{H935} saith{H5002} Jehovah,{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}

not 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 a husband{H1166} unto them, saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068}

But this is the covenant{H1285} that I will make{H3772} with the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478} after{H310} those days,{H3117} saith{H5002} Jehovah:{H3068} I will put{H5414} my law{H8451} in their inward parts,{H7130} and in their heart{H3820} will I write{H3789} it; and I will be their God,{H430} and they shall be my people:{H5971}

and they shall teach{H3925} no more every man{H376} his neighbor,{H7453} and every man{H376} his brother,{H251} saying,{H559} Know{H3045} Jehovah;{H3068} for they shall all know{H3045} me, from the least{H6996} of them unto the greatest{H1419} of them, saith{H5002} Jehovah:{H3068} for I will forgive{H5545} their iniquity,{H5771} and their sin{H2403} will I remember{H2142} no more.

Thus saith{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} who 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} who stirreth{H7280} up the sea,{H3220} so that the waves{H1530} thereof roar;{H1993} Jehovah{H3068} of hosts{H6635} is his name:{H8034}

If these ordinances{H2706} depart{H4185} from before{H6440} me, saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} then the seed{H2233} of Israel{H3478} also shall cease{H7673} from being a nation{H1471} before{H6440} me for ever.{H3117}

Thus saith{H559} Jehovah:{H3068} If heaven{H8064} above{H4605} can be measured,{H4058} and the foundations{H4146} of the earth{H776} searched out{H2713} beneath,{H4295} then will I also cast off{H3988} all the seed{H2233} of Israel{H3478} for all that they have done,{H6213} saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068}

Behold, the days{H3117} come,{H935} saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} that the city{H5892} shall be built{H1129} to Jehovah{H3068} from the tower{H4026} of Hananel{H2606} unto the gate{H8179} of the corner.{H6438}

And the measuring{H4060} line{H6957} shall go out{H3318} further straight onward unto the hill{H1389} Gareb,{H1619} and shall turn about{H5437} unto Goah.{H1601}

And the whole valley{H6010} of the dead bodies{H6297} and of the ashes,{H1880} and all the fields{H7709} unto the brook{H5158} Kidron,{H6939} unto the corner{H6438} of the horse{H5483} gate{H8179} toward the east,{H4217} shall be holy{H6944} unto Jehovah;{H3068} it shall not be plucked up,{H5428} nor thrown down{H2040} any more for ever.{H5769}
