For the days shall come, that the [a]watchmen upon the mount of Ephraim shall cry, Arise, and let us go up unto [b]Zion to the Lord our God.

For thus saith the Lord, Rejoice with gladness for Jacob, and shout for joy among the chief of the Gentiles: publish praise and say, O Lord, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.

[c]Behold, I will bring them from the North country, and gather them from the coasts of the world, with the blind and the lame among them, with the woman with child, and her that is delivered also: a great company shall return hither.

  1. Jeremiah 31:6 The Ministers of the word.
  2. Jeremiah 31:6 They shall exhort all to the embracing of the Gospel, as Isa. 2:3.
  3. Jeremiah 31:8 He showeth what shall be the concord and love of all under the Gospel, when none shall be refused for their infirmities: and everyone shall exhort one another to embrace it.

There will be a day when watchmen(A) cry out
    on the hills of Ephraim,
‘Come, let us go up to Zion,
    to the Lord our God.’”(B)

This is what the Lord says:

“Sing(C) with joy for Jacob;
    shout for the foremost(D) of the nations.
Make your praises heard, and say,
    Lord, save(E) your people,
    the remnant(F) of Israel.’
See, I will bring them from the land of the north(G)
    and gather(H) them from the ends of the earth.
Among them will be the blind(I) and the lame,(J)
    expectant mothers and women in labor;
    a great throng will return.
