Jeremiah 31:7-9
English Standard Version
7 For thus says the Lord:
(A)“Sing aloud with gladness for Jacob,
and raise shouts for (B)the chief of the nations;
proclaim, give praise, and say,
(C)‘O Lord, save your people,
the remnant of Israel.’
8 Behold, I will bring them (D)from the north country
and (E)gather them from (F)the farthest parts of the earth,
among them (G)the blind and the lame,
the pregnant woman and she who is in labor, together;
a great company, they shall return here.
9 (H)With weeping they shall come,
(I)and with pleas for mercy I will lead them back,
I will make them (J)walk by brooks of water,
(K)in a straight path in which they shall not stumble,
for (L)I am a father to Israel,
and Ephraim is (M)my firstborn.
