Jeremiah 31:7–11

7  For thus saith the Lord;

oSing with gladness for Jacob,

And oshout among pthe chief of the nations:

Publish ye, praise ye, and say,

O Lord, qsave thy people, the remnant of Israel.

8  Behold, I will bring them rfrom the north country,

And sgather them tfrom the coasts of the earth,

And with them uthe blind and the lame,

The woman with child and her that travaileth with child together:

A great company shall return thither.

9  They shall come vwith weeping,

And with ||wsupplications will I lead them:

I will cause them to walk xby the rivers of waters

yIn a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble:

For zI am a father to Israel,

And zzEphraim is amy firstborn.

10  Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations,

And declare it in the isles afar off, and say,

He that scattered Israel bwill gather him,

And keep him, cas a shepherd doth his flock.

11  For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob,

And dransomed him efrom the hand of him that was stronger than he.
