At the same time{H6256}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{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}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}, The people{H5971} which were left{H8300} of the sword{H2719} found{H4672}{(H8804)} grace{H2580} in the wilderness{H4057}; even Israel{H3478}, when I went{H1980}{(H8800)} to cause him to rest{H7280}{(H8687)}.

The LORD{H3068} hath appeared{H7200}{(H8738)} of old{H7350} unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved{H157}{(H8804)} thee with an everlasting{H5769} love{H160}: therefore with lovingkindness{H2617} have I drawn{H4900}{(H8804)} thee.

Again I will build{H1129}{(H8799)} thee, and thou shalt be built{H1129}{(H8738)}, O virgin{H1330} of Israel{H3478}: thou shalt again be adorned{H5710}{(H8799)} with thy tabrets{H8596}, and shalt go forth{H3318}{(H8804)} in the dances{H4234} of them that make merry{H7832}{(H8764)}.

Thou shalt yet plant{H5193}{(H8799)} vines{H3754} upon the mountains{H2022} of Samaria{H8111}: the planters{H5193}{(H8802)} shall plant{H5193}{(H8804)}, and shall eat them as common things{H2490}{(H8765)}.

For there shall be{H3426} a day{H3117}, that the watchmen{H5341}{(H8802)} upon the mount{H2022} Ephraim{H669} shall cry{H7121}{(H8804)}, Arise{H6965}{(H8798)} ye, and let us go up{H5927}{(H8799)} to Zion{H6726} unto the LORD{H3068} our God{H430}.

For thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}; Sing{H7442}{(H8798)} with gladness{H8057} for Jacob{H3290}, and shout{H6670}{(H8761)} among the chief{H7218} of the nations{H1471}: publish{H8085}{(H8685)} ye, praise{H1984}{(H8761)} ye, and say{H559}{(H8798)}, O LORD{H3068}, save{H3467}{(H8685)} thy people{H5971}, the remnant{H7611} of Israel{H3478}.

Behold, I will bring{H935}{(H8688)} them from the north{H6828} country{H776}, and gather{H6908}{(H8765)} them from the coasts{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}{(H8802)} together{H3162}: a great{H1419} company{H6951} shall return{H7725}{(H8799)} thither.

They shall come{H935}{(H8799)} with weeping{H1065}, and with supplications{H8469} will I lead{H2986}{(H8686)} them: I will cause them to walk{H3212}{(H8686)} by the rivers{H5158} of waters{H4325} in a straight{H3477} way{H1870}, wherein they shall not stumble{H3782}{(H8735)}: for I am a father{H1} to Israel{H3478}, and Ephraim{H669} is my firstborn{H1060}.

Hear{H8085}{(H8798)} the word{H1697} of the LORD{H3068}, O ye nations{H1471}, and declare{H5046}{(H8685)} it in the isles{H339} afar off{H4801}, and say{H559}{(H8798)}, He that scattered{H2219}{(H8764)} Israel{H3478} will gather{H6908}{(H8762)} him, and keep{H8104}{(H8804)} him, as a shepherd{H7462}{(H8802)} doth his flock{H5739}.

For the LORD{H3068} hath redeemed{H6299}{(H8804)} Jacob{H3290}, and ransomed{H1350}{(H8804)} him from the hand{H3027} of him that was stronger{H2389} than he.

Therefore they shall come{H935}{(H8804)} and sing{H7442}{(H8765)} in the height{H4791} of Zion{H6726}, and shall flow together{H5102}{(H8804)} to the goodness{H2898} of the LORD{H3068}, for wheat{H1715}, and for wine{H8492}, and for oil{H3323}, and for 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}{(H8800)} any more{H3254}{(H8686)} at all.

Then shall the virgin{H1330} rejoice{H8055}{(H8799)} in the dance{H4234}, both young men{H970} and old{H2205} together{H3162}: for I will turn{H2015}{(H8804)} their mourning{H60} into joy{H8342}, and will comfort{H5162}{(H8765)} them, and make them rejoice{H8055}{(H8765)} from their sorrow{H3015}.

And I will satiate{H7301}{(H8765)} the soul{H5315} of the priests{H3548} with fatness{H1880}, and my people{H5971} shall be satisfied{H7646}{(H8799)} with my goodness{H2898}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}.

Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}; A voice{H6963} was heard{H8085}{(H8738)} in Ramah{H7414}, lamentation{H5092}, and bitter{H8563} weeping{H1065}; Rahel{H7354} weeping{H1058}{(H8764)} for her children{H1121} refused{H3985}{(H8765)} to be comforted{H5162}{(H8736)} for her children{H1121}, because they were not.

Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}; Refrain{H4513}{(H8798)} thy voice{H6963} from weeping{H1065}, and thine eyes{H5869} from tears{H1832}: for thy work{H6468} shall be{H3426} rewarded{H7939}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}; and they shall come again{H7725}{(H8804)} from the land{H776} of the enemy{H341}{(H8802)}.

And there is{H3426} hope{H8615} in thine end{H319}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}, that thy children{H1121} shall come again{H7725}{(H8804)} to their own border{H1366}.

I have surely{H8085}{(H8800)} heard{H8085}{(H8804)} Ephraim{H669} bemoaning{H5110}{(H8711)} himself thus; Thou hast chastised{H3256}{(H8765)} me, and I was chastised{H3256}{(H8735)}, as a bullock{H5695} unaccustomed{H3808}{H3925}{(H8795)} to the yoke: turn{H7725}{(H8685)} thou me, and I shall be turned{H7725}{(H8799)}; for thou art the LORD{H3068} my God{H430}.

Surely after{H310} that I was turned{H7725}{(H8800)}, I repented{H5162}{(H8738)}; and after{H310} that I was instructed{H3045}{(H8736)}, I smote{H5606}{(H8804)} upon my thigh{H3409}: I was ashamed{H954}{(H8804)}, yea, even confounded{H3637}{(H8738)}, because I did bear{H5375}{(H8804)} the reproach{H2781} of my youth{H5271}.

Is Ephraim{H669} my dear{H3357} son{H1121}? is he a pleasant{H8191} child{H3206}? for since{H1767} I spake{H1696}{(H8763)} against him, I do earnestly{H2142}{(H8800)} remember{H2142}{(H8799)} him still: therefore my bowels{H4578} are troubled{H1993}{(H8804)} for him; I will surely{H7355}{(H8763)} have mercy{H7355}{(H8762)} upon him, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}.

Set thee up{H5324}{(H8685)} waymarks{H6725}, make{H7760}{(H8798)} thee high heaps{H8564}: set{H7896}{(H8798)} thine heart{H3820} toward the highway{H4546}, even the way{H1870} which thou wentest{H1980}{(H8804)}: turn again{H7725}{(H8798)}, O virgin{H1330} of Israel{H3478}, turn again{H7725}{(H8798)} to these thy cities{H5892}.

How long wilt thou go about{H2559}{(H8691)}, O thou backsliding{H7728} daughter{H1323}? for the LORD{H3068} hath created{H1254}{(H8804)} a new thing{H2319} in the earth{H776}, A woman{H5347} shall compass{H5437}{(H8779)} a man{H1397}.

Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}, the God{H430} of Israel{H3478}; As yet they shall use{H559}{(H8799)} this speech{H1697} in the land{H776} of Judah{H3063} and in the cities{H5892} thereof, when I shall bring again{H7725}{(H8800)} their captivity{H7622}; The LORD{H3068} bless{H1288}{(H8762)} thee, O habitation{H5116} of justice{H6664}, and mountain{H2022} of holiness{H6944}.

And there shall dwell{H3427}{(H8804)} in Judah{H3063} itself, and in all the cities{H5892} thereof together{H3162}, husbandmen{H406}, and they that go forth{H5265}{(H8804)} with flocks{H5739}.

For I have satiated{H7301}{(H8689)} the weary{H5889} soul{H5315}, and I have replenished{H4390}{(H8765)} every sorrowful{H1669}{(H8804)} soul{H5315}.

Upon this I awaked{H6974}{(H8689)}, and beheld{H7200}{(H8799)}; and my sleep{H8142} was sweet{H6149}{(H8804)} unto me.

Behold, the days{H3117} come{H935}{(H8802)}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}, that I will sow{H2232}{(H8804)} 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}{(H8804)} them, to pluck up{H5428}{(H8800)}, and to break down{H5422}{(H8800)}, and to throw down{H2040}{(H8800)}, and to destroy{H6}{(H8687)}, and to afflict{H7489}{(H8687)}; so will I watch over{H8245}{(H8799)} them, to build{H1129}{(H8800)}, and to plant{H5193}{(H8800)}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}.

In those days{H3117} they shall say{H559}{(H8799)} no more, The fathers{H1} have eaten{H398}{(H8804)} a sour grape{H1155}, and the children's{H1121} teeth{H8127} are set on edge{H6949}{(H8799)}.

But every one{H376} shall die{H4191}{(H8799)} for his own iniquity{H5771}: every man{H120} that eateth{H398}{(H8802)} the sour grape{H1155}, his teeth{H8127} shall be set on edge{H6949}{(H8799)}.

Behold, the days{H3117} come{H935}{(H8802)}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}, that I will make{H3772}{(H8804)} 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}{(H8804)} with their fathers{H1} in the day{H3117} that I took{H2388}{(H8687)} them by the hand{H3027} to bring them out{H3318}{(H8687)} of the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714}; which my covenant{H1285} they brake{H6565}{(H8689)}, although I was an husband{H1166}{(H8804)} unto them, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}:

But this shall be the covenant{H1285} that I will make{H3772}{(H8799)} with the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478}; After{H310} those days{H3117}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}, I will put{H5414}{(H8804)} my law{H8451} in their inward parts{H7130}, and write{H3789}{(H8799)} it in their hearts{H3820}; and will be their God{H430}, and they shall be my people{H5971}.

And they shall teach{H3925}{(H8762)} no more every man{H376} his neighbour{H7453}, and every man{H376} his brother{H251}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Know{H3045}{(H8798)} the LORD{H3068}: for they shall all know{H3045}{(H8799)} me, from the least{H6996} of them unto the greatest{H1419} of them, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}: for I will forgive{H5545}{(H8799)} their iniquity{H5771}, and I will remember{H2142}{(H8799)} their sin{H2403} no more.

Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}, which giveth{H5414}{(H8802)} 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}, which divideth{H7280}{(H8802)} the sea{H3220} when the waves{H1530} thereof roar{H1993}{(H8799)}; The LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635} is his name{H8034}:

If those ordinances{H2706} depart{H4185}{(H8799)} from before{H6440} me, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}, then the seed{H2233} of Israel{H3478} also shall cease{H7673}{(H8799)} from being a nation{H1471} before{H6440} me for ever{H3117}.

Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}; If heaven{H8064} above{H4605} can be measured{H4058}{(H8735)}, and the foundations{H4146} of the earth{H776} searched out{H2713}{(H8735)} beneath{H4295}, I will also cast off{H3988}{(H8799)} all the seed{H2233} of Israel{H3478} for all that they have done{H6213}{(H8804)}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}.

Behold, the days{H3117} come{H935}{(H8802)}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}, that the city{H5892} shall be built{H1129}{(H8738)} to the LORD{H3068} from the tower{H4026} of Hananeel{H2606} unto the gate{H8179} of the corner{H6438}.

And the measuring{H4060} line{H6957}{(H8675)}{H6961} shall yet go forth{H3318}{(H8804)} over against it upon the hill{H1389} Gareb{H1619}, and shall compass about{H5437}{(H8738)} to Goath{H1601}.

And the whole valley{H6010} of the dead bodies{H6297}, and of the ashes{H1880}, and all the fields{H7709}{(H8675)}{H8309} unto the brook{H5158} of Kidron{H6939}, unto the corner{H6438} of the horse{H5483} gate{H8179} toward the east{H4217}, shall be holy{H6944} unto the LORD{H3068}; it shall not be plucked up{H5428}{(H8735)}, nor thrown down{H2040}{(H8735)} any more for ever{H5769}.
