Jeremiah 31:7-9

New American Standard Bible

⁷ For this is what the Lord says:
“^(A)Sing aloud with joy for Jacob,
And be joyful with the ^[a](B)chief of the nations;
Proclaim, give praise, and say,
‘Lord, ^(C)save Your people,
The ^(D)remnant of Israel!’
⁸ Behold, I am ^(E)bringing them from the north country,
And I will ^(F)gather them from the remote parts of the earth,
Among them those who are ^(G)blind and those who ^(H)limp,
The pregnant woman and she who is in labor, together;
They will return here as a great assembly.
^9 (I)They will come with weeping,
And by pleading I will bring them;
I will lead them by ^(J)streams of waters,
On a straight path on which they will ^(K)not stumble;
For I am a ^(L)father to Israel,
And Ephraim is ^(M)My firstborn.”
