1 # At the same time <06256>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, will I be the God <0430> of all the families <04940> of Israel <03478>, and they shall be my people <05971>.
2 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, The people <05971> which were left <08300> of the sword <02719> found <04672> (8804) grace <02580> in the wilderness <04057>; even Israel <03478>, when I went <01980> (8800) to cause him to rest <07280> (8687).

3 The LORD <03068> hath appeared <07200> (8738) of old <07350> unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved <0157> (8804) thee with an everlasting <05769> love <0160>: therefore with lovingkindness <02617> have I drawn <04900> (8804) thee.
4 Again I will build <01129> (8799) thee, and thou shalt be built <01129> (8738), O virgin <01330> of Israel <03478>: thou shalt again be adorned <05710> (8799) with thy tabrets <08596>, and shalt go forth <03318> (8804) in the dances <04234> of them that make merry <07832> (8764).
5 Thou shalt yet plant <05193> (8799) vines <03754> upon the mountains <02022> of Samaria <08111>: the planters <05193> (8802) shall plant <05193> (8804), and shall eat them as common things <02490> (8765).
6 For there shall be <03426> a day <03117>, that the watchmen <05341> (8802) upon the mount <02022> Ephraim <0669> shall cry <07121> (8804), Arise <06965> (8798) ye, and let us go up <05927> (8799) to Zion <06726> unto the LORD <03068> our God <0430>.
7 For thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>; Sing <07442> (8798) with gladness <08057> for Jacob <03290>, and shout <06670> (8761) among the chief <07218> of the nations <01471>: publish <08085> (8685) ye, praise <01984> (8761) ye, and say <0559> (8798), O LORD <03068>, save <03467> (8685) thy people <05971>, the remnant <07611> of Israel <03478>.
8 Behold, I will bring <0935> (8688) them from the north <06828> country <0776>, and gather <06908> (8765) them from the coasts <03411> of the earth <0776>, and with them the blind <05787> and the lame <06455>, the woman with child <02030> and her that travaileth with child <03205> (8802) together <03162>: a great <01419> company <06951> shall return <07725> (8799) thither.
9 They shall come <0935> (8799) with weeping <01065>, and with supplications <08469> will I lead <02986> (8686) them: I will cause them to walk <03212> (8686) by the rivers <05158> of waters <04325> in a straight <03477> way <01870> , wherein they shall not stumble <03782> (8735): for I am a father <01> to Israel <03478>, and Ephraim <0669> is my firstborn <01060>.
10 # Hear <08085> (8798) the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>, O ye nations <01471>, and declare <05046> (8685) it in the isles <0339> afar off <04801>, and say <0559> (8798), He that scattered <02219> (8764) Israel <03478> will gather <06908> (8762) him, and keep <08104> (8804) him, as a shepherd <07462> (8802) doth his flock <05739>.

11 For the LORD <03068> hath redeemed <06299> (8804) Jacob <03290>, and ransomed <01350> (8804) him from the hand <03027> of him that was stronger <02389> than he.
12 Therefore they shall come <0935> (8804) and sing <07442> (8765) in the height <04791> of Zion <06726> , and shall flow together <05102> (8804) to the goodness <02898> of the LORD <03068>, for wheat <01715>, and for wine <08492> , and for oil <03323>, and for the young <01121> of the flock <06629> and of the herd <01241>: and their soul <05315> shall be as a watered <07302> garden <01588>; and they shall not sorrow <01669> (8800) any more <03254> (8686) at all.
13 Then shall the virgin <01330> rejoice <08055> (8799) in the dance <04234>, both young men <0970> and old <02205> together <03162>: for I will turn <02015> (8804) their mourning <060> into joy <08342>, and will comfort <05162> (8765) them, and make them rejoice <08055> (8765) from their sorrow <03015>.
14 And I will satiate <07301> (8765) the soul <05315> of the priests <03548> with fatness <01880>, and my people <05971> shall be satisfied <07646> (8799) with my goodness <02898>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
15 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>; A voice <06963> was heard <08085> (8738) in Ramah <07414>, lamentation <05092>, and bitter <08563> weeping <01065>; Rahel <07354> weeping <01058> (8764) for her children <01121> refused <03985> (8765) to be comforted <05162> (8736) for her children <01121>, because they were not.
16 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>; Refrain <04513> (8798) thy voice <06963> from weeping <01065>, and thine eyes <05869> from tears <01832>: for thy work <06468> shall be <03426> rewarded <07939>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>; and they shall come again <07725> (8804) from the land <0776> of the enemy <0341> (8802) .
17 And there is <03426> hope <08615> in thine end <0319>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, that thy children <01121> shall come again <07725> (8804) to their own border <01366>.
18 # I have surely <08085> (8800) heard <08085> (8804) Ephraim <0669> bemoaning <05110> (8711) himself thus; Thou hast chastised <03256> (8765) me, and I was chastised <03256> (8735), as a bullock <05695> unaccustomed <03808> <03925> (8795) to the yoke: turn <07725> (8685) thou me, and I shall be turned <07725> (8799); for thou art the LORD <03068> my God <0430>.
19 Surely after <0310> that I was turned <07725> (8800), I repented <05162> (8738); and after <0310> that I was instructed <03045> (8736), I smote <05606> (8804) upon my thigh <03409>: I was ashamed <0954> (8804) , yea, even confounded <03637> (8738), because I did bear <05375> (8804) the reproach <02781> of my youth <05271>.
20 Is Ephraim <0669> my dear <03357> son <01121>? is he a pleasant <08191> child <03206>? for since <01767> I spake <01696> (8763) against him, I do earnestly <02142> (8800) remember <02142> (8799) him still: therefore my bowels <04578> are troubled <01993> (8804) for him; I will surely <07355> (8763) have mercy <07355> (8762) upon him, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
21 Set thee up <05324> (8685) waymarks <06725>, make <07760> (8798) thee high heaps <08564>: set <07896> (8798) thine heart <03820> toward the highway <04546>, even the way <01870> which thou wentest <01980> (8804): turn again <07725> (8798), O virgin <01330> of Israel <03478>, turn again <07725> (8798) to these thy cities <05892>.
22 How long wilt thou go about <02559> (8691), O thou backsliding <07728> daughter <01323>? for the LORD <03068> hath created <01254> (8804) a new thing <02319> in the earth <0776>, A woman <05347> shall compass <05437> (8779) a man <01397>.
23 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478>; As yet they shall use <0559> (8799) this speech <01697> in the land <0776> of Judah <03063> and in the cities <05892> thereof, when I shall bring again <07725> (8800) their captivity <07622>; The LORD <03068> bless <01288> (8762) thee, O habitation <05116> of justice <06664>, and mountain <02022> of holiness <06944>.
24 And there shall dwell <03427> (8804) in Judah <03063> itself, and in all the cities <05892> thereof together <03162> , husbandmen <0406>, and they that go forth <05265> (8804) with flocks <05739>.
25 For I have satiated <07301> (8689) the weary <05889> soul <05315>, and I have replenished <04390> (8765) every sorrowful <01669> (8804) soul <05315>.
26 Upon this I awaked <06974> (8689), and beheld <07200> (8799); and my sleep <08142> was sweet <06149> (8804) unto me.
27 # Behold, the days <03117> come <0935> (8802), saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, that I will sow <02232> (8804) the house <01004> of Israel <03478> and the house <01004> of Judah <03063> with the seed <02233> of man <0120>, and with the seed <02233> of beast <0929>.
28 And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over <08245> (8804) them, to pluck up <05428> (8800), and to break down <05422> (8800), and to throw down <02040> (8800), and to destroy <06> (8687), and to afflict <07489> (8687); so will I watch over <08245> (8799) them, to build <01129> (8800), and to plant <05193> (8800), saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
29 In those days <03117> they shall say <0559> (8799) no more, The fathers <01> have eaten <0398> (8804) a sour grape <01155>, and the children's <01121> teeth <08127> are set on edge <06949> (8799).
30 But every one <0376> shall die <04191> (8799) for his own iniquity <05771>: every man <0120> that eateth <0398> (8802) the sour grape <01155>, his teeth <08127> shall be set on edge <06949> (8799).
31 Behold, the days <03117> come <0935> (8802), saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, that I will make <03772> (8804) a new <02319> covenant <01285> with the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, and with the house <01004> of Judah <03063>:
32 Not according to the covenant <01285> that I made <03772> (8804) with their fathers <01> in the day <03117> that I took <02388> (8687) them by the hand <03027> to bring them out <03318> (8687) of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>; which my covenant <01285> they brake <06565> (8689), although I was an husband <01166> (8804) unto them, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>:
33 But this shall be the covenant <01285> that I will make <03772> (8799) with the house <01004> of Israel <03478> ; After <0310> those days <03117>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, I will put <05414> (8804) my law <08451> in their inward parts <07130>, and write <03789> (8799) it in their hearts <03820>; and will be their God <0430>, and they shall be my people <05971>.
34 And they shall teach <03925> (8762) no more every man <0376> his neighbour <07453>, and every man <0376> his brother <0251>, saying <0559> (8800), Know <03045> (8798) the LORD <03068>: for they shall all know <03045> (8799) me, from the least <06996> of them unto the greatest <01419> of them, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>: for I will forgive <05545> (8799) their iniquity <05771>, and I will remember <02142> (8799) their sin <02403> no more.
35 # Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, which giveth <05414> (8802) the sun <08121> for a light <0216> by day <03119>, and the ordinances <02708> of the moon <03394> and of the stars <03556> for a light <0216> by night <03915>, which divideth <07280> (8802) the sea <03220> when the waves <01530> thereof roar <01993> (8799) ; The LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> is his name <08034>:
36 If those ordinances <02706> depart <04185> (8799) from before <06440> me, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, then the seed <02233> of Israel <03478> also shall cease <07673> (8799) from being a nation <01471> before <06440> me for ever <03117>.
37 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>; If heaven <08064> above <04605> can be measured <04058> (8735), and the foundations <04146> of the earth <0776> searched out <02713> (8735) beneath <04295>, I will also cast off <03988> (8799) all the seed <02233> of Israel <03478> for all that they have done <06213> (8804), saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
38 Behold, the days <03117> come <0935> (8802), saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, that the city <05892> shall be built <01129> (8738) to the LORD <03068> from the tower <04026> of Hananeel <02606> unto the gate <08179> of the corner <06438>.
39 And the measuring <04060> line <06957> (8675) <06961> shall yet go forth <03318> (8804) over against it upon the hill <01389> Gareb <01619>, and shall compass about <05437> (8738) to Goath <01601>.
40 And the whole valley <06010> of the dead bodies <06297>, and of the ashes <01880>, and all the fields <07709> (8675) <08309> unto the brook <05158> of Kidron <06939>, unto the corner <06438> of the horse <05483> gate <08179> toward the east <04217>, shall be holy <06944> unto the LORD <03068>; it shall not be plucked up <05428> (8735), nor thrown down <02040> (8735) any more for ever <05769>.
