Jeremiah 31:11

Jeremiah 31:11

9 ^aThey shall come with weeping,
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.

10 “Hear the word of the Lord, O nations,
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.’

11 For ^athe Lord has redeemed Jacob,
And ransomed him ^bfrom the hand of one stronger than he.

12 Therefore they shall come and sing in ^athe height of Zion,
Streaming to ^bthe goodness of the Lord—
For wheat and new wine and oil,
For the young of the flock and the herd;
Their souls shall be like a ^cwell-watered garden,
^dAnd they shall sorrow no more at all.

13 “Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance,
And the young men and the old, together;
For I will turn their mourning to joy,
Will comfort them,
And make them rejoice rather than sorrow.

14 I will¹ satiate the soul of the priests with abundance,
And My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, says the Lord.”

John Wesley's Notes

<< Jeremiah 31:10

Jeremiah 31:12 >>

Hath redeemed - God will as certainly do it, as if he had already done it. In their deliverance as well from Babylon as Egypt, they were types of the deliverance of God's people, by Christ; as well as in their entering into Canaan, they were types of the saints, entering into heaven.
