Jeremiah 31:21
Compare all
19 Surely, aafter my turning, I repented;
And after I was instructed, I struck myself on the thigh;
I was bashamed, yes, even humiliated,
Because I bore the reproach of my youth.’ 
20 Is Ephraim My dear son?
Is he a pleasant child?
For though I spoke against him,
I earnestly remember him still;
aTherefore My1 heart yearns for him;
bI will surely have mercy on him, says the Lord. 
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!’

Jeremiah 31:21

Set up - Thou shalt return to these cities which thou now leavest, therefore take good notice of the way, set up marks by which thou mayest know it again, make thee pillars or some high heaps of stones in the way, mind well the way that the Assyrians and the Babylonians carried thee, for thou shalt come back the same way.
