Book 24 Jeremiah Chapter 031

 

031:001At the same time, saith the LORD, will I be the God of all the
families of Israel, and they shall be my people.

 

031:002Thus saith the LORD, The people which were left of the sword
found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to
cause him to rest.

 

031:003The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have
loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with
lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

 

031:004Again 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 that make merry.

 

031:005Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the
planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common things.

 

031:006For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount
Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the
LORD our God.

 

031:007For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and
shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye,
and say, O LORD, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.

 

031:008Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather
them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and
the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with
child together: a great company shall return thither.

 

031:009They 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 they shall not stumble: for I am a
father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.

 

031:010Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the
isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather
him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.

 

031:011For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the
hand of him that was stronger than he.

 

031:012Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and
shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat,
and for wine, and for oil, and for 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.

 

031:013Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, 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.

 

031:014And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and
my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the LORD.

 

031:015Thus 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.

 

031:016Thus 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.

 

031:017And there is hope in thine end, saith the LORD, that thy
children shall come again to their own border.

 

031:018I 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.

 

031:019Surely 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.

 

031:020Is 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.

 

031:021Set 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.

 

031:022How 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.

 

031:023Thus 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.

 

031:024And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities
thereof together, husbandmen, and they that go forth with
flocks.

 

031:025For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished
every sorrowful soul.

 

031:026Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto
me.

 

031:027Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will sow the
house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man,
and with the seed of beast.

 

031:028And 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.

 

031:029In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a
sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge.

 

031:030But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that
eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.

 

031:031Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new
covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of
Judah:

 

031:032Not 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:

 

031:033But 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.

 

031:034And 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.

 

031:035Thus 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:

 

031:036If 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.

 

031:037Thus 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.

 

031:038Behold, 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.

 

031:039And the measuring line shall yet go forth over against it upon
the hill Gareb, and shall compass about to Goath.

 

031:040And 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.
