Jeremiah 31:20-24
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 31
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
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
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
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.
