God's Relationship with His People
|

|
||||
# Chapter 31
|
||||
1. "At that time"--this is
|
||||
the Lord's declaration--"I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people."
|
||||
|
||||
2. This is what
|
||||
the Lord says:
|
||||
The people who survived the sword
|
||||
found favor in the wilderness.
|
||||
When Israel went to find rest,
|
||||
|
||||
3.
|
||||
the Lord appeared to him from far away.
|
||||
I have loved you with an everlasting love;
|
||||
therefore, I have continued to extend faithful love to you.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Again I will build you so that you will be rebuilt,
|
||||
Virgin Israel.
|
||||
You will take up your tambourines again
|
||||
and go out in joyful dancing.
|
||||
|
||||
5. You will plant vineyards again
|
||||
on the mountains of Samaria;
|
||||
the planters will plant and will enjoy the fruit.
|
||||
|
||||
6. For there will be a day when watchmen will call out
|
||||
in the hill country of Ephraim,
|
||||
"Come, let's go up to Zion,
|
||||
to
|
||||
the Lord our God!"
|
||||
God's People Brought Home
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
7. For this is what
|
||||
the Lord says:
|
||||
Sing with joy for Jacob;
|
||||
shout for the foremost of the nations!
|
||||
Proclaim, praise, and say,
|
||||
"Lord, save your people,
|
||||
the remnant of Israel!"
|
||||
|
||||
8. Watch! I am going to bring them from the northern land.
|
||||
I will gather them from remote regions of the earth--
|
||||
the blind and the lame will be with them,
|
||||
along with those who are pregnant and those about to give birth.
|
||||
They will return here as a great assembly!
|
||||
|
||||
9. They will come weeping,
|
||||
but I will bring them back with consolation.
|
||||
I will lead them to wadis filled with water,
|
||||
by a smooth way where they will not stumble,
|
||||
for I am Israel's Father,
|
||||
and Ephraim is my firstborn.
|
||||
|
||||
10. Nations, hear the word of
|
||||
the Lord,
|
||||
and tell it among the far off coasts and islands!
|
||||
Say, "The one who scattered Israel will gather him.
|
||||
He will watch over him as a shepherd guards his flock,
|
||||
|
||||
11. for
|
||||
the Lord has ransomed Jacob
|
||||
and redeemed him from the power of one stronger than he."
|
||||
|
||||
12. They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion;
|
||||
they will be radiant with joy
|
||||
because of
|
||||
the Lord's goodness,
|
||||
because of the grain, the new wine, the fresh oil,
|
||||
and because of the young of the flocks and herds.
|
||||
Their life will be like an irrigated garden,
|
||||
and they will no longer grow weak from hunger.
|
||||
|
||||
13. Then the young women will rejoice with dancing,
|
||||
while young and old men rejoice together.
|
||||
I will turn their mourning into joy,
|
||||
give them consolation,
|
||||
and bring happiness out of grief.
|
||||
|
||||
14. I will refresh the priests with an abundance,
|
||||
and my people will be satisfied with my goodness.
|
||||
|
||||
This is
|
||||
the Lord's declaration.
|
||||
|
||||
Lament Turned to Joy
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
15. This is what
|
||||
the Lord says:
|
||||
A voice was heard in Ramah,
|
||||
a lament with bitter weeping--
|
||||
Rachel weeping for her children,
|
||||
refusing to be comforted for her children
|
||||
because they are no more.
|
||||
|
||||
16. This is what
|
||||
the Lord says:
|
||||
Keep your voice from weeping
|
||||
and your eyes from tears,
|
||||
for the reward for your work will come--
|
||||
this is
|
||||
the Lord's declaration--
|
||||
and your children will return from the enemy's land.
|
||||
|
||||
17. There is hope for your future--
|
||||
this is
|
||||
the Lord's declaration--
|
||||
and your children will return to their own territory.
|
||||
|
||||
18. I have surely heard Ephraim moaning,
|
||||
"You disciplined me, and I have been disciplined
|
||||
like an untrained calf.
|
||||
Take me back, so that I can return,
|
||||
for you, Lord, are my God.
|
||||
|
||||
19. After my return, I felt regret;
|
||||
After I was instructed, I struck my thigh in grief.
|
||||
I was ashamed and humiliated
|
||||
because I bore the disgrace of my youth."
|
||||
|
||||
20. Isn't Ephraim a precious son to me,
|
||||
a delightful child?
|
||||
Whenever I speak against him,
|
||||
I certainly still think about him.
|
||||
Therefore, my inner being yearns for him;
|
||||
I will truly have compassion on him.
|
||||
|
||||
This is
|
||||
the Lord's declaration.
|
||||
|
||||
Repentance and Restoration
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
21. Set up road markers for yourself;
|
||||
establish signposts!
|
||||
Keep the highway in mind,
|
||||
the way you have traveled.
|
||||
Return, Virgin Israel!
|
||||
Return to these cities of yours.
|
||||
|
||||
22. How long will you turn here and there,
|
||||
faithless daughter?
|
||||
For
|
||||
the Lord creates something new in the land--
|
||||
a female will shelter a man.
|
||||
|
||||
23. This is what
|
||||
the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel, says: "When I restore their fortunes, they will once again speak this word in the land of Judah and in its cities: 'May
|
||||
the Lord bless you, righteous settlement, holy mountain.'
|
||||
24. Judah and all its cities will live in it together--also farmers and those who move with the flocks--
|
||||
25. for I satisfy the thirsty person and feed all those who are weak."
|
||||
|
||||
26. At this I awoke and looked around. My sleep had been most pleasant to me.
|
||||
|
||||
27. "Look, the days are coming"--this is
|
||||
the Lord's declaration--"when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of people and the seed of animals.
|
||||
28. Just as I watched over them to uproot and to tear them down, to demolish and to destroy, and to cause disaster, so will I watch over them to build and to plant them"--this is
|
||||
the Lord's declaration.
|
||||
29. "In those days, it will never again be said,
|
||||
'The fathers have eaten sour grapes,
|
||||
and the children's teeth are set on edge.'
|
||||
|
||||
30. Rather, each will die for his own iniquity. Anyone who eats sour grapes--his own teeth will be set on edge.
|
||||
|
||||
The New Covenant
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
31. "Look, the days are coming"--this is
|
||||
the Lord's declaration--"when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.
|
||||
32. This one will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors on the day I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt--my covenant that they broke even though I am their master"--
|
||||
the Lord's declaration.
|
||||
33. "Instead, this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days"--
|
||||
the Lord's declaration. "I will put my teaching within them and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
|
||||
34. No longer will one teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, 'Know
|
||||
the Lord,' for they will all know me, from the least to the greatest of them"--this is
|
||||
the Lord's declaration. "For I will forgive their iniquity and never again remember their sin.
|
||||
|
||||
35. "This is what
|
||||
the Lord says:
|
||||
The one who gives the sun for light by day,
|
||||
the fixed order of moon and stars for light by night,
|
||||
who stirs up the sea and makes its waves roar--
|
||||
the Lord of Armies is his name:
|
||||
|
||||
36. If this fixed order departs from before me--
|
||||
this is
|
||||
the Lord's declaration--
|
||||
only then will Israel's descendants cease
|
||||
to be a nation before me forever.
|
||||
|
||||
37. "This is what
|
||||
the Lord says:
|
||||
Only if the heavens above can be measured
|
||||
and the foundations of the earth below explored,
|
||||
will I reject all of Israel's descendants
|
||||
because of all they have done--
|
||||
this is
|
||||
the Lord's declaration.
|
||||
|
||||
38. "Look, the days are coming"--
|
||||
the Lord's declaration--"when the city from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate will be rebuilt for
|
||||
the Lord.
|
||||
39. A measuring line will once again stretch out straight to the hill of Gareb and then turn toward Goah.
|
||||
40. The whole valley--the corpses, the ashes, and all the fields as far as the Kidron Valley to the corner of the Horse Gate to the east--will be holy
|
||||
to
|
||||
the Lord. It will never be uprooted or demolished again."
