31:1 "At
that
time,
declares
the
LORD,
I
will
be
the
God
of
all
the
clans
of
Israel,
and
they
shall
be
my
people."
31:2 Thus
says
the
LORD:
"The
people
who
survived
the
sword
found
grace
in
the
wilderness;
when
Israel
sought
for
rest,
31:3 the
LORD
appeared
to
him
from
far
away.
I
have
loved
you
with
an
everlasting
love;
therefore
I
have
continued
my
faithfulness
to
you.
31:4 Again
I
will
build
you,
and
you
shall
be
built,
O
virgin
Israel!
Again
you
shall
adorn
yourself
with
tambourines
and
shall
go
forth
in
the
dance
of
the
merrymakers.
31:5 Again
you
shall
plant
vineyards
on
the
mountains
of
Samaria;
the
planters
shall
plant
and
shall
enjoy
the
fruit.
31:6 For
there
shall
be
a
day
when
watchmen
will
call
in
the
hill
country
of
Ephraim:
'Arise,
and
let
us
go
up
to
Zion,
to
the
LORD
our
God.'"
31:7 For
thus
says
the
LORD:
"Sing
aloud
with
gladness
for
Jacob,
and
raise
shouts
for
the
chief
of
the
nations;
proclaim,
give
praise,
and
say,
'O
LORD,
save
your
people,
the
remnant
of
Israel.'
31:8 Behold,
I
will
bring
them
from
the
north
country
and
gather
them
from
the
farthest
parts
of
the
earth,
among
them
the
blind
and
the
lame,
the
pregnant
woman
and
she
who
is
in
labor,
together;
a
great
company,
they
shall
return
here.
31:9 With
weeping
they
shall
come,
and
with
pleas
for
mercy
I
will
lead
them
back,
I
will
make
them
walk
by
brooks
of
water,
in
a
straight
path
in
which
they
shall
not
stumble,
for
I
am
a
father
to
Israel,
and
Ephraim
is
my
firstborn.
31:10 "Hear
the
word
of
the
LORD,
O
nations,
and
declare
it
in
the
coastlands
far
away;
say,
'He
who
scattered
Israel
will
gather
him,
and
will
keep
him
as
a
shepherd
keeps
his
flock.'
31:11 For
the
LORD
has
ransomed
Jacob
and
has
redeemed
him
from
hands
too
strong
for
him.
31:12 They
shall
come
and
sing
aloud
on
the
height
of
Zion,
and
they
shall
be
radiant
over
the
goodness
of
the
LORD,
over
the
grain,
the
wine,
and
the
oil,
and
over
the
young
of
the
flock
and
the
herd;
their
life
shall
be
like
a
watered
garden,
and
they
shall
languish
no
more.
31:13 Then
shall
the
young
women
rejoice
in
the
dance,
and
the
young
men
and
the
old
shall
be
merry.
I
will
turn
their
mourning
into
joy;
I
will
comfort
them,
and
give
them
gladness
for
sorrow.
31:14 I
will
feast
the
soul
of
the
priests
with
abundance,
and
my
people
shall
be
satisfied
with
my
goodness,
declares
the
LORD."
31:15 Thus
says
the
LORD:
"A
voice
is
heard
in
Ramah,
lamentation
and
bitter
weeping.
Rachel
is
weeping
for
her
children;
she
refuses
to
be
comforted
for
her
children,
because
they
are
no
more."
31:16 Thus
says
the
LORD:
"Keep
your
voice
from
weeping,
and
your
eyes
from
tears,
for
there
is
a
reward
for
your
work,
declares
the
LORD,
and
they
shall
come
back
from
the
land
of
the
enemy.
31:17 There
is
hope
for
your
future,
declares
the
LORD,
and
your
children
shall
come
back
to
their
own
country.
31:18 I
have
heard
Ephraim
grieving,
'You
have
disciplined
me,
and
I
was
disciplined,
like
an
untrained
calf;
bring
me
back
that
I
may
be
restored,
for
you
are
the
LORD
my
God.
31:19 For
after
I
had
turned
away,
I
relented,
and
after
I
was
instructed,
I
struck
my
thigh;
I
was
ashamed,
and
I
was
confounded,
because
I
bore
the
disgrace
of
my
youth.'
31:20 Is
Ephraim
my
dear
son
Is
he
my
darling
child
For
as
often
as
I
speak
against
him,
I
do
remember
him
still.
Therefore
my
heart
yearns
for
him;
I
will
surely
have
mercy
on
him,
declares
the
LORD.
31:21 "Set
up
road
markers
for
yourself;
make
yourself
guideposts;
consider
well
the
highway,
the
road
by
which
you
went.
Return,
O
virgin
Israel,
return
to
these
your
cities.
31:22 How
long
will
you
waver,
O
faithless
daughter
For
the
LORD
has
created
a
new
thing
on
the
earth:
a
woman
encircles
a
man."
31:23 Thus
says
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel:
"Once
more
they
shall
use
these
words
in
the
land
of
Judah
and
in
its
cities,
when
I
restore
their
fortunes:
"'The
LORD
bless
you,
O
habitation
of
righteousness,
O
holy
hill!'
31:24 And
Judah
and
all
its
cities
shall
dwell
there
together,
and
the
farmers
and
those
who
wander
with
their
flocks.
31:25 For
I
will
satisfy
the
weary
soul,
and
every
languishing
soul
I
will
replenish."
31:26 At
this
I
awoke
and
looked,
and
my
sleep
was
pleasant
to
me.
31:27 "Behold,
the
days
are
coming,
declares
the
LORD,
when
I
will
sow
the
house
of
Israel
and
the
house
of
Judah
with
the
seed
of
man
and
the
seed
of
beast.
31:28 And
it
shall
come
to
pass
that
as
I
have
watched
over
them
to
pluck
up
and
break
down,
to
overthrow,
destroy,
and
bring
harm,
so
I
will
watch
over
them
to
build
and
to
plant,
declares
the
LORD.
31:29 In
those
days
they
shall
no
longer
say:
"'The
fathers
have
eaten
sour
grapes,
and
the
children's
teeth
are
set
on
edge.'
31:30 But
everyone
shall
die
for
his
own
sin.
Each
man
who
eats
sour
grapes,
his
teeth
shall
be
set
on
edge.
31:31 "Behold,
the
days
are
coming,
declares
the
LORD,
when
I
will
make
a
new
covenant
with
the
house
of
Israel
and
the
house
of
Judah,
31:32 not
like
the
covenant
that
I
made
with
their
fathers
on
the
day
when
I
took
them
by
the
hand
to
bring
them
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
my
covenant
that
they
broke,
though
I
was
their
husband,
declares
the
LORD.
31:33 But
this
is
the
covenant
that
I
will
make
with
the
house
of
Israel
after
those
days,
declares
the
LORD:
I
will
put
my
law
within
them,
and
I
will
write
it
on
their
hearts.
And
I
will
be
their
God,
and
they
shall
be
my
people.
31:34 And
no
longer
shall
each
one
teach
his
neighbor
and
each
his
brother,
saying,
'Know
the
LORD,'
for
they
shall
all
know
me,
from
the
least
of
them
to
the
greatest,
declares
the
LORD.
For
I
will
forgive
their
iniquity,
and
I
will
remember
their
sin
no
more."
31:35 Thus
says
the
LORD,
who
gives
the
sun
for
light
by
day
and
the
fixed
order
of
the
moon
and
the
stars
for
light
by
night,
who
stirs
up
the
sea
so
that
its
waves
roar--
the
LORD
of
hosts
is
his
name:
31:36 "If
this
fixed
order
departs
from
before
me,
declares
the
LORD,
then
shall
the
offspring
of
Israel
cease
from
being
a
nation
before
me
forever."
31:37 Thus
says
the
LORD:
"If
the
heavens
above
can
be
measured,
and
the
foundations
of
the
earth
below
can
be
explored,
then
I
will
cast
off
all
the
offspring
of
Israel
for
all
that
they
have
done,
declares
the
LORD."
31:38 "Behold,
the
days
are
coming,
declares
the
LORD,
when
the
city
shall
be
rebuilt
for
the
LORD
from
the
Tower
of
Hananel
to
the
Corner
Gate.
31:39 And
the
measuring
line
shall
go
out
farther,
straight
to
the
hill
Gareb,
and
shall
then
turn
to
Goah.
31:40 The
whole
valley
of
the
dead
bodies
and
the
ashes,
and
all
the
fields
as
far
as
the
brook
Kidron,
to
the
corner
of
the
Horse
Gate
toward
the
east,
shall
be
sacred
to
the
LORD.
It
shall
not
be
uprooted
or
overthrown
anymore
forever."
