 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 |
