Jeremiah 31:7-9

Modern English Version

Sing with gladness for Jacob,
    and shout among the chief of the nations;
publish, praise, and say,
    “O Lord, save Your people,
    the remnant of Israel.”
⁸ See, I will bring them from the north country,
    and gather them from the remote parts of the earth,
and with them the blind and the lame,
    the woman with child and her who is in labor with child, together;
    a great company will return here.
⁹ They will come with weeping,
    and with supplications I will lead them.
I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters,
    in a straight way in which they shall not stumble.
For I am a Father to Israel,
    and Ephraim is My firstborn.
