Jeremiah 31:14-24
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 31
14
I will refresh the soul of the priests with abundance,
And My people will be satisfied with My goodness,' declares the
Lord
.
15
This is what the
Lord
says:
'A voice is heard in Ramah,
Lamenting
and
bitter weeping.
Rachel is weeping for her children;
She refuses to be comforted for her children,
Because they are no more.'
16
This is what the
Lord
says:
'Restrain your voice from weeping
And your eyes from tears;
For your work will be rewarded,' declares the
Lord
,
'And they will return from the land of the enemy.
17
There is hope for your future,' declares the
Lord
,
'And
your
children will return to their own territory.
18
I have certainly heard Ephraim grieving,
‘You have disciplined me, and I was corrected,
Like an untrained calf;
Bring me back that I may be restored,
For You are the
Lord
my God.
19
For after I turned back, I repented;
And after I was instructed, I slapped
my
thigh;
I was ashamed and also humiliated
Because I bore the shame of my youth.’
20
Is Ephraim My dear son?
Is he a delightful child?
Indeed, as often as I have spoken against him,
I certainly
still
remember him;
Therefore My heart yearns for him;
I will certainly have mercy on him,' declares the
Lord
.
21
'Set up roadmarks for yourself,
Place guideposts for yourself;
Direct your mind to the highway,
The way by which you went.
Return, O virgin of Israel,
Return to these your cities.
22
How long will you waver,
You rebellious daughter?
For the
Lord
has created a new thing on the earth:
A woman will shelter a man.'
23
This is what the
Lord
of armies, the God of Israel says: 'Once again they will speak this word in the land of Judah and in its cities when I restore their fortunes,
‘The
Lord
bless you, O place of righteousness,
O holy hill!’
24
Judah and all its cities will live together in it, the farmers and those who travel with flocks.
King James Version
Chapter 31
14
And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the
Lord
.
15
Thus saith the
Lord
; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.
16
Thus saith the
Lord
; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the
Lord
; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.
17
And there is hope in thine end, saith the
Lord
, that thy children shall come again to their own border.
18
I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the
Lord
my God.
19
Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.
20
Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spake against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the
Lord
.
21
Set thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps: set thine heart toward the highway, even the way which thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.
22
How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the
Lord
hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man.
23
Thus saith the
Lord
of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity; The
Lord
bless thee, O habitation of justice, and mountain of holiness.
24
And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities thereof together, husbandmen, and they that go forth with flocks.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 31
14
I will refresh the priests with an abundance,
and my people will be satisfied with my goodness. This is the
Lord
’s declaration.
15
This is what the
Lord
says:
A voice was heard in Ramah,
a lament with bitter weeping—
Rachel weeping for her children,
refusing to be comforted for her children
because they are no more.
16
This is what the
Lord
says:
Keep your voice from weeping
and your eyes from tears,
for the reward for your work will come— this is the
Lord
’s declaration— and your children will return from the enemy’s land.
17
There is hope for your future — this is the
Lord
’s declaration— and your children will return to their own territory.
18
I have surely heard Ephraim moaning,
"You disciplined me, and I have been disciplined
like an untrained calf.
Take me back, so that I can return,
for you,
Lord
, are my God.
19
After my return, I felt regret;
After I was instructed, I struck my thigh in grief.
I was ashamed and humiliated
because I bore the disgrace of my youth."
20
Isn’t Ephraim a precious son to me,
a delightful child?
Whenever I speak against him,
I certainly still think about him.
Therefore, my inner being yearns for him;
I will truly have compassion on him. This is the
Lord
’s declaration.
21
Set up road markers for yourself;
establish signposts!
Keep the highway in mind,
the way you have traveled.
Return, Virgin Israel!
Return to these cities of yours.
22
How long will you turn here and there,
faithless daughter?
For the
Lord
creates something new in the land —
a female will shelter a man.
23
This is what the
Lord
of Armies, the God of Israel, says: "When I restore their fortunes, they will once again speak this word in the land of Judah and in its cities: ‘May the
Lord
bless you, righteous settlement, holy mountain.’
24
Judah and all its cities will live in it together—also farmers and those who move with the flocks—
New Living Translation
Chapter 31
14
The priests will enjoy abundance,
and my people will feast on my good gifts.
I, the
Lord
, have spoken!'
15
This is what the
Lord
says:
'A cry is heard in Ramah —
deep anguish and bitter weeping.
Rachel weeps for her children,
refusing to be comforted —
for her children are gone.'
16
But now this is what the
Lord
says:
'Do not weep any longer,
for I will reward you,' says the
Lord
.
'Your children will come back to you
from the distant land of the enemy.
17
There is hope for your future,' says the
Lord
.
'Your children will come again to their own land.
18
I have heard Israel saying,
‘You disciplined me severely,
like a calf that needs training for the yoke.
Turn me again to you and restore me,
for you alone are the
Lord
my God.
19
I turned away from God,
but then I was sorry.
I kicked myself for my stupidity!
I was thoroughly ashamed of all I did in my younger days.’
20
'Is not Israel still my son,
my darling child?' says the
Lord
.
'I often have to punish him,
but I still love him.
That’s why I long for him
and surely will have mercy on him.
21
Set up road signs;
put up guideposts.
Mark well the path
by which you came.
Come back again, my virgin Israel;
return to your towns here.
22
How long will you wander,
my wayward daughter?
For the
Lord
will cause something new to happen —
Israel will embrace her God. '
23
This is what the
Lord
of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: 'When I bring them back from captivity, the people of Judah and its towns will again say, ‘The
Lord
bless you, O righteous home, O holy mountain!’
24
Townspeople and farmers and shepherds alike will live together in peace and happiness.
