Jeremiah 31:9-11

Lexham English Bible

⁹ With weeping they will come,
    and with pleas for mercy I will bring them;
I will let them walk by streams of water in a straight path.
    They will not stumble in it,
for I have become to Israel a father,
    and Ephraim, he is my firstborn.”
¹⁰ Hear the word of Yahweh, O nations,
    and declare in the coastlands from afar, and say,
“The scatterer of Israel will gather him,
    and he will keep him as a shepherd his flock.
¹¹ For Yahweh has ransomed Jacob,
    and he has redeemed him from the hand of the person stronger^[a] than he.
