I will make Judah's people strong,

and I will make Israel's people become free.

I will bring them back to me,

because I am sorry for them.

I am their God,

and I will answer them.

It will be as if I had never turned away from them.

Israel's people will become like strong men.

They will be as happy as men that drink wine.

Their children will see their happy fathers

and so the children will be happy.

They will sing to the Lord.

I will cause my people to come to me and I will bring them all together.

I will buy them and I will make them free people.

And there will be as many people as there were before.

“I will strengthen(A) Judah
    and save the tribes of Joseph.
I will restore them
    because I have compassion(B) on them.(C)
They will be as though
    I had not rejected them,
for I am the Lord their God
    and I will answer(D) them.
The Ephraimites will become like warriors,
    and their hearts will be glad as with wine.(E)
Their children will see it and be joyful;
    their hearts will rejoice(F) in the Lord.
I will signal(G) for them
    and gather them in.
Surely I will redeem them;
    they will be as numerous(H) as before.
