Jeremiah 31:8-10
Holman Christian Standard Bible
8 Watch! I am going to bring them from the northern land.
I will gather them from remote regions of the earth(A)—
the blind and the lame will be with them,
along with those who are pregnant and those about to give birth.
They will return here as a great assembly!(B)
9 They will come weeping,
but I will bring them back with consolation.[a](C)
I will lead them to wadis filled with water
by a smooth way where they will not stumble,(D)
for I am Israel’s Father,
and Ephraim is My firstborn.
10 Nations, hear the word of the Lord,
and tell it among the far off coastlands!(E)
Say: The One who scattered Israel will gather him.
He will watch over him as a shepherd guards his flock,

8 Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither.
9 They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.
10 Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.
