Jeremiah 31:7-9
The Voice
7 Sing a song of joy for Jacob; shout for this greatest of nations.
Shout it out with praise in your hearts:
“O Eternal, save Your people—
rescue the remnant of Israel.”
8 Watch now, as I bring them from the land to the north,
as I gather My people from the ends of the earth.
Look who is among those returning home: the blind and the lame,
expectant mothers and even those giving birth—
All of these together in the multitude on its way home.
9 Listen, as they come home weeping and repenting,
praying for direction, pleading for mercy as I bring them back.
In that day I will lead them beside quiet streams of water
and take them upon a straight path where they will not stumble.
Why? Because I am Israel’s father, and Ephraim is My firstborn son.
Jeremiah 31:7-9
New International Version
7 This is what the Lord says:
“Sing(A) with joy for Jacob;
shout for the foremost(B) of the nations.
Make your praises heard, and say,
‘Lord, save(C) your people,
the remnant(D) of Israel.’
8 See, I will bring them from the land of the north(E)
and gather(F) them from the ends of the earth.
Among them will be the blind(G) and the lame,(H)
expectant mothers and women in labor;
a great throng will return.
9 They will come with weeping;(I)
they will pray as I bring them back.
I will lead(J) them beside streams of water(K)
on a level(L) path where they will not stumble,
because I am Israel’s father,(M)
and Ephraim is my firstborn son.
