“The people who survived the sword
Found grace in the wilderness—
Israel, when aI went to give him rest.”
“Yes, aI have loved you with ban everlasting love;
Therefore with lovingkindness I have cdrawn you.
O virgin of Israel!
You shall again be adorned with your btambourines,
And shall go forth in the dances of those who rejoice.
The planters shall plant and1 eat them as ordinary food.
When the watchmen will cry on Mount Ephraim,
a‘Arise, and let us go up to Zion,
To the Lord our God.’ ”
a“Sing with gladness for Jacob,
And shout among the chief of the nations;
Proclaim, give praise, and say,
‘O Lord, save Your people,
The remnant of Israel!’
And bgather them from the ends of the earth,
Among them the blind and the lame,
The woman with child
And the one who labors with child, together;
A great throng shall return there.
And with supplications I will lead them.
I will cause them to walk bby the rivers of waters,
In a straight way in which they shall not stumble;
For I am a Father to Israel,
And Ephraim is My cfirstborn.
And declare it in the1 isles afar off, and say,
‘He who scattered Israel awill gather him,
And keep him as a shepherd does his flock.’
| << Jeremiah 31:3 | Jeremiah 31:5 >> |
