Jeremiah 31:23
Compare all
21 “Set up signposts,
Make landmarks;
aSet your heart toward the highway,
The way in which you went.
1Turn back, O virgin of Israel,
Turn back to these your cities. 
22 How long will you agad about,
O you bbacksliding daughter?
For the Lord has created a new thing in the earth—
A woman shall encompass a man.”  

Future Prosperity of Judah

23 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “They shall again use this speech in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I bring back their captivity: a‘The Lord bless you, O home of justice, and bmountain of holiness!’  
24 And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and ain all its cities together, farmers and those going out with flocks.  
25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.”  
26 After this I awoke and looked around, and my sleep was asweet to me.  
27 “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, that aI will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and the seed of beast.  
28 And it shall come to pass, that as I have awatched over them bto pluck up, to break down, to throw down, to destroy, and to afflict, so I will watch over them cto build and to plant, says the Lord.  
29 aIn those days they shall say no more:
‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes,
And the children’s teeth are set on edge.’  
30 aBut every one shall die for his own iniquity; every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.  

A New Covenant

31 “Behold, the adays are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah—  
32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that aI took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke,1 though I was a husband to them, says the Lord.  
33 aBut this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: bI will put My law in their minds, and write it on their1 hearts; cand I will be their God, and they shall be My people.  
34 No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for athey all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord. For bI will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” 
35 Thus says the Lord,
aWho gives the sun for a light by day,
The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night,
Who disturbs bthe sea,
And its waves roar
c(The Lord of hosts is His name): 
36 “If athose ordinances depart
From before Me, says the Lord,
Then the seed of Israel shall also cease
From being a nation before Me forever.”

Jeremiah 31:23

As yet - Or, Again, once move. The prophet now turns to Judah. By the mountain of holiness is meant not the temple only, but all Jerusalem, of which the temple was the most sacred spot, and that by which all the rest was made holy.
