 31:1 ¶ At that time, saith the Lord, I will be a God to the family of Israel, and they shall be to me a people.

 31:1 ¶ At the sameº time,º saithºº Yahweh,º will I beº the Elohimº of allº the familiesº of Israel,º and theyº shall beº my people.º

 31:2 Thus saith the Lord, I found him warm in the wilderness with them that were slain with the sword: go ye and destroy not Israel.

 31:2 Thusº saithºº Yahweh,º The peopleº [which were] leftº of the swordº foundºº graceº in the wilderness;º [even] Israel,º when I wentºº to cause him to rest.ºº

 31:3 The Lord appeared to him from afar, [saying], I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore have I drawn thee in compassion.

 31:3 Yahwehº hath appearedºº of oldºº unto me, [saying], Yea, I have lovedºº thee with an everlastingº love:º thereforeºº with lovingkindnessº have I drawnºº thee.

 31:4 For I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt yet take thy timbrel, and go forth with the party of them that make merry.

 31:4 Againº I will buildºº thee, and thou shalt be built,ºº O virginº of Israel:º thou shalt againº be adornedºº with thy tabrets,º and shalt go forthºº in the dancesº of them that make merry.ºº

 31:5 For ye have planted vineyards on the mountains of Samaria: plant ye, and praise.

 31:5 Thou shalt yetº plantºº vinesº upon the mountainsº of Samaria:º the plantersºº shall plant,ºº and shall eat [them] as common things.ºº

 31:6 For it is a day when those that plead on the mountains of Ephraim shall call, [saying], Arise ye, and go up to Zion{gr.Sion} to the Lord your God.

 31:6 Forº there shall beº a day,º [that] the watchmenºº upon the mountº Ephraimº shall cry,ºº Ariseºº ye, and let us go upºº to Zionº untoº Yahwehº our Elohim.º

 31:7 For thus saith the Lord to Jacob; Rejoice ye, and exult over the head of the nations: make proclamation, and praise ye: say, The Lord has delivered his people, the remnant of Israel.

 31:7 Forº thusº saithºº Yahweh;º Singºº with gladnessº for Jacob,º and shoutºº among the chiefº of the nations:º publishºº ye, praiseºº ye, and say,ºº O Yahweh,º saveººº thy people,ºº the remnantº of Israel.º

 31:8 Behold, I bring them from the north, and will gather them from the end of the earth to the feast of the passover: and [the people] shall beget a great multitude, and they shall return hither.

 31:8 Behold,º I will bringºº them from the northº country,ºº and gatherºº them from the coastsºº of the earth,º [and] with them the blindº and the lame,º the woman with childºº and her that travaileth with childºº together:º a greatº companyº shall returnºº thither.º

 31:9 They went forth with weeping, and I will bring them back with consolation, causing them to lodge by the channels of waters in a straight way, and they shall not err in it: for I am become a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my first-born.

 31:9 They shall comeºº with weeping,º and with supplicationsº will I leadºº them: I will cause them to walkººº byº the riversº of watersº in a straightº way,º wherein they shall notº stumble:ºº forº I amº a fatherº to Israel,º and Ephraimº [is] my firstborn.º

 31:10 ¶ Hear the words of the Lord, ye nations, and proclaim [them] to the islands afar off; say, He that scattered Israel will also gather him, and keep him as one that feeds his flock.

 31:10 ¶ Hearºº the wordº of Yahweh,º O ye nations,º and declareºº [it] in the islesº afar off,ºº and say,ºº He that scatteredºº Israelº will gatherºº him, and keepºº him, as a shepherdºº [doth] his flock.º

 31:11 For the Lord has ransomed Jacob, he has rescued him out of the hand of them [that were] stronger than he.

 31:11 Forº Yahwehº hath redeemedººº Jacob,º and ransomedºº him from the handºº of [him that was] strongerº thanº he.

 31:12 And they shall come, and shall rejoice in the mount of Zion{gr.Sion}, and shall come to the good things of the Lord, [even] to a land of corn, and wine, and fruits, and cattle, and sheep: and their soul shall be as a fruitful tree; and they shall hunger no more.

 31:12 Therefore they shall comeºº and singºº in the heightº of Zion,º and shall flow togetherºº toº the goodnessº of Yahweh,º forº wheat,º and forº wine,º and forº oil,º and forº the youngº of the flockº and of the herd:º and their soulº shall beº as a wateredº garden;º and they shall notº sorrowºº any moreºº at all.

 31:13 Then shall the virgins rejoice in the assembly of youth, and the old men shall rejoice; and I will turn their mourning into joy, and will make them merry.

 31:13 Thenº shall the virginº rejoiceºº in the dance,º both young menº and oldº together:º for I will turnºº their mourningº into joy,º and will comfortºº them, and make them rejoiceºº from their sorrow.ºº

 31:14 I will expand and cheer with wine the soul of the priests the sons of Levi, and my people shall be satisfied with my good things: thus saith the Lord.

 31:14 And I will satiateºº the soulº of the priestsº with fatness,º and my peopleº shall be satisfiedºº withºº my goodness,º saithºº Yahweh.º

 31:15 ¶ A voice was heard in Ramah{gr.Rama}, of lamentation, and of weeping, and wailing; Rachel would not cease weeping for her children, because they are not.

 31:15 ¶ Thusº saithºº Yahweh;º A voiceº was heardºº in Ramah,º lamentation,º [and] bitterº weeping;º Rahelº weepingºº forº her childrenº refusedºº to be comfortedºº forº her children,º becauseº they [were] not.º

 31:16 Thus saith the Lord; Let thy voice cease from weeping, and thine eyes from thy tears: for their is a reward for thy works; and they shall return from the land of [thine] enemies.

 31:16 Thusº saithºº Yahweh;º Refrainºº thy voiceº from weeping,ºº and thine eyesº from tears:ºº forº thy workº shall beº rewarded,º saithºº Yahweh;º and they shall come againºº from the landºº of the enemy.ºº

 31:17 [There shall be] an abiding [home] for thy children.

 31:17 And there isº hopeº in thine end,º saithºº Yahweh,º that thy childrenº shall come againºº to their own border.º

 31:18 ¶ I have heard the sound of Ephraim lamenting, [and saying], Thou hast chastened me, and I was chastened; I as a calf was not [willingly] taught: turn thou me, and I shall turn; for thou [art] the Lord my God.

 31:18 ¶ I have surelyºº heardºº Ephraimº bemoaningºº himselfº [thus]; Thou hast chastisedºº me, and I was chastised,ºº as a bullockº unaccustomedººº [to the yoke]: turnºº thou me, and I shall be turned;ºº forº thouº [art] Yahwehº my Elohim.º

 31:19 For after my captivity I repented; and after I knew, I groaned for the day of shame, and shewed thee that I bore reproach from my youth.

 31:19 Surelyº afterº thatº I was turned,ºº I repented;ºº and afterº thatº I was instructed,ºº I smoteºº uponº [my] thigh:º I was ashamed,ºº yea, evenº confounded,ºº becauseº I did bearºº the reproachº of my youth.º

 31:20 Ephraim is a beloved son, a pleasing child to me: for because my words are in him, I will surely remember him: therefore I made haste [to help] him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the Lord.

 31:20 [Is] Ephraimº my dearº son?º [is he] a pleasantº child?º forº sinceºº I spakeºº against him, I do earnestlyºº rememberºº him still:º thereforeºº my bowelsº are troubledºº for him; I will surelyºº have mercyºº upon him, saithºº Yahweh.º

 31:21 Prepare thyself, O Zion{gr.Sion}; execute vengeance; look to thy ways: return, O virgin of Israel, by the way by which thou wentest, return mourning to thy cities.

 31:21 Set thee upºº waymarks,º makeºº thee high heaps:º setºº thine heartº toward the highway,º [even] the wayº [which] thou wentest:ºº turn again,ºº O virginº of Israel,º turn againºº toº theseº thy cities.º

 31:22 ¶ How long, O disgraced daughter, wilt thou turn away? for the Lord has created safety for a new plantation: men shall go about in safety.

 31:22 ¶ How longºº wilt thou go about,ºº O thou backslidingº daughter?º forº Yahwehº hath createdºº a new thingº in the earth,º A womanº shall compassºº a man.º

 31:23 For thus saith the Lord; They shall yet speak this word in the land of Judah{gr.Juda}, and in the cities thereof, when I shall turn his captivity; blessed be the Lord on his righteous holy mountain!

 31:23 Thusº saithºº Yahwehº Sabaoth,º the Elohimº of Israel;º As yetº they shall useººº thisº speechº in the landº of Judahº and in the citiesº thereof, when I shall bring againººº their captivity;º Yahwehº blessºº thee, O habitationº of justice,º [and] mountainº of holiness.º

 31:24 And there shall be dwellers in the cities of Judah{gr.Juda}, and in all his land, together with the husbandman, and [the shepherd] shall go forth with the flock.

 31:24 And there shall dwellºº in Judahº itself, and in allº the citiesº thereof together,º husbandmen,º and they [that] go forthºº with flocks.º

 31:25 For I have saturated every thirsting soul, and filled every hungry soul.

 31:25 Forº I have satiatedºº the wearyº soul,º and I have replenishedºº everyº sorrowfulºº soul.º

 31:26 Therefore I awake, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet to me.

 31:26 Uponº thisº I awaked,ºº and beheld;ºº and my sleepº was sweetºº unto me.

 31:27 ¶ Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah{gr.Juda} with the seed of man, and the seed of beast.

 31:27 ¶ Behold,º the daysº come,ºº saithºº Yahweh,º that I will sowººº the houseº of Israelº and the houseº of Judahº with the seedº of man,º and with the seedº of beast.º

 31:28 And it shall come to pass, that as I watched over them, to pull down, and to afflict, so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the Lord.

 31:28 And it shall come to pass,º [that] like asº I have watchedº overººº them, to pluck up,ºº and to break down,ºº and to throw down,ºº and to destroy,ºº and to afflict;ºº soº will I watchº overººº them, to build,ºº and to plant,ºº saithºº Yahweh.º

 31:29 In those days they shall certainly not say, The fathers ate a sour grape, and the children's teeth were set on edge.

 31:29 In thoseº daysº they shall sayºº noº more,º The fathersº have eatenºº a sour grape,º and the children'sº teethº are set on edge.ºº

 31:30 But every one shall die in his own sin; and the teeth of him that eats the sour grape shall be set on edge.

 31:30 Butºº every oneº shall dieºº for his own iniquity:º everyº manº that eatethºº the sour grape,º his teethº shall be set on edge.ºº

 31:31 ¶ Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah{gr.Juda}:

 31:31 ¶ Behold,º the daysº come,ºº saithºº Yahweh,º that I will makeºº a newº covenantº withº the houseº of Israel,º and withº the houseº of Judah:º

 31:32 not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day when I took hold of their hand to bring them out of the land of Mizraim{gr.Egypt}; for they abode not in my covenant, and I disregarded them, saith the Lord.

 31:32 Notº according to the covenantº thatº I madeºº withº their fathersº in the dayº [that] I tookºº them by the handº to bringº them outºº of the landºº of Egypt;º whichºº my covenantº theyº brake,ºº although Iº was an husbandºº unto them, saithºº Yahweh:º

 31:33 For this is my covenant which I will make with the house of Israel; after those days, saith the Lord, I will surely put my laws into their mind, and write them on their hearts; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.

 31:33 Butº thisº [shall be] the covenantº thatº I will makeºº withº the houseº of Israel;º Afterº thoseº days,º saithºº Yahweh,º I will putººº my lawº in their inward parts,º and writeºº it inº their hearts;º and will beº their Elohim,º and theyº shall beº my people.º

 31:34 And they shall not at all teach every one his [fellow] citizen, and every one his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them: for I will be merciful to their iniquities, and their sins I will remember no more.

 31:34 And they shall teachºº noº moreº every manºº his neighbour,º and every manºº his brother,º saying,ºº Knowººº Yahweh:º forº they shall allº knowºº me, from the leastºº of them untoº the greatestº of them, saithºº Yahweh:º forº I will forgiveºº their iniquity,º and I will rememberºº their sinº noº more.º

 31:35 ¶ Thus saith the Lord, who gives the sun for a light by day, the moon and the stars for a light by night, and [makes] a roaring in the sea, so that the waves thereof roar; the Lord Almighty is his name:

 31:35 ¶ Thusº saithºº Yahweh,º which givethºº the sunº for a lightº by day,º [and] the ordinancesº of the moonº and of the starsº for a lightº by night,º which dividethºº the seaº when the wavesº thereof roar;ºº Yahwehº Sabaothº [is] his name:º

 31:36 if these ordinances cease from before me, saith the Lord, then shall the family of Israel cease to be a nation before me forever.

 31:36 Ifº thoseº ordinancesº departºº from beforeºº me, saithºº Yahweh,º [then] the seedº of Israelº alsoº shall ceaseºº from beingºº a nationº beforeº me for ever.ºº

 31:37 Though the sky should be raised to a [greater] height, saith the Lord, and though the ground of the earth should be sunk [lower] beneath, yet I will not cast off the family of Israel, saith the Lord, for all that they have done.

 31:37 Thusº saithºº Yahweh;º Ifº heavenº aboveºº can be measured,ºº and the foundationsº of the earthº searched outºº beneath,º Iº will alsoº cast offºº allº the seedº of Israelº forº allº thatº they have done,ºº saithºº Yahweh.º

 31:38 ¶ Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when the city shall be built to the Lord from the tower of Hananeel{gr.Anameel} to the gate of the corner.

 31:38 ¶ Behold,º the daysº come,ºº saithºº Yahweh,º that the cityº shall be builtºº to Yahwehº from the towerºº of Hananeelº unto the gateº of the corner.º

 31:39 And the measurement of it shall proceed in front of them as far as the hills of Gareb, and it shall be compassed with a circular wall of choice stones.

 31:39 And the measuringº lineººº shall yetº go forthºº over againstº it uponº the hillº Gareb,º and shall compass aboutºº to Goath.º

 31:40 And all the Asaremoth even to Nachal Kidron{gr.Kedron}, as far as the corner of the horse-gate eastward, shall be holiness to the Lord; and it shall not fail any more, and shall not be destroyed for ever.

 31:40 And the wholeº valleyº of the dead bodies,º and of the ashes,º and allº the fieldsººº untoº the brookº of Kidron,º untoº the cornerº of the horseº gateº toward the east,º [shall be] holyº unto Yahweh;º it shall notº be plucked up,ºº norº thrown downºº any moreº for ever.º
