Jeremiah 31:16-18

Holman Christian Standard Bible

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^(A)—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
and your children will return to their own territory.
¹⁸ I have heard Ephraim moaning,
“You disciplined me, and I have been disciplined
like an untrained calf.
Restore me, and I will return,
for you, Lord, are my God.^(B)
