31:1 At the same time 6256, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068, will I be the God 430 of all the families 4940 of Israel 3478, and they shall be my people 5971.

31:2 Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068, The people 5971 [which were] left 8300 of the sword 2719 found 4672 8804 grace 2580 in the wilderness 4057; [even] Israel 3478, when I went 1980 8800 to cause him to rest 7280 8687.

31:3 The LORD 3068 hath appeared 7200 8738 of old 7350 unto me, [saying], Yea, I have loved 157 8804 thee with an everlasting 5769 love 160: therefore with lovingkindness 2617 have I drawn 4900 8804 thee.(of…: Heb. from afar)(with lovingkindness…: have I extended lovingkindness unto thee)

31:4 Again I will build 1129 8799 thee, and thou shalt be built 1129 8738, O virgin 1330 of Israel 3478: thou shalt again be adorned 5710 8799 with thy tabrets 8596, and shalt go forth 3318 8804 in the dances 4234 of them that make merry 7832 8764.(tabrets: or, timbrels)

31:5 Thou shalt yet plant 5193 8799 vines 3754 upon the mountains 2022 of Samaria 8111: the planters 5193 8802 shall plant 5193 8804, and shall eat [them] as common things 2490 8765.(eat…: Heb. profane them)

31:6 For there shall be 3426 a day 3117, [that] the watchmen 5341 8802 upon the mount 2022 Ephraim 669 shall cry 7121 8804, Arise 6965 8798 ye, and let us go up 5927 8799 to Zion 6726 unto the LORD 3068 our God 430.

31:7 For thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068; Sing 7442 8798 with gladness 8057 for Jacob 3290, and shout 6670 8761 among the chief 7218 of the nations 1471: publish 8085 8685 ye, praise 1984 8761 ye, and say 559 8798, O LORD 3068, save 3467 8685 thy people 5971, the remnant 7611 of Israel 3478.

31:8 Behold, I will bring 935 8688 them from the north 6828 country 776, and gather 6908 8765 them from the coasts 3411 of the earth 776, [and] with them the blind 5787 and the lame 6455, the woman with child 2030 and her that travaileth with child 3205 8802 together 3162: a great 1419 company 6951 shall return 7725 8799 thither.

31:9 They shall come 935 8799 with weeping 1065, and with supplications 8469 will I lead 2986 8686 them: I will cause them to walk 3212 8686 by the rivers 5158 of waters 4325 in a straight 3477 way 1870, wherein they shall not stumble 3782 8735: for I am a father 1 to Israel 3478, and Ephraim 669 [is] my firstborn 1060.(supplications: or, favours)

31:10 Hear 8085 8798 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068, O ye nations 1471, and declare 5046 8685 [it] in the isles 339 afar off 4801, and say 559 8798, He that scattered 2219 8764 Israel 3478 will gather 6908 8762 him, and keep 8104 8804 him, as a shepherd 7462 8802 [doth] his flock 5739.

31:11 For the LORD 3068 hath redeemed 6299 8804 Jacob 3290, and ransomed 1350 8804 him from the hand 3027 of [him that was] stronger 2389 than he.

31:12 Therefore they shall come 935 8804 and sing 7442 8765 in the height 4791 of Zion 6726, and shall flow together 5102 8804 to the goodness 2898 of the LORD 3068, for wheat 1715, and for wine 8492, and for oil 3323, and for the young 1121 of the flock 6629 and of the herd 1241: and their soul 5315 shall be as a watered 7302 garden 1588; and they shall not sorrow 1669 8800 any more 3254 8686 at all.

31:13 Then shall the virgin 1330 rejoice 8055 8799 in the dance 4234, both young men 970 and old 2205 together 3162: for I will turn 2015 8804 their mourning 60 into joy 8342, and will comfort 5162 8765 them, and make them rejoice 8055 8765 from their sorrow 3015.

31:14 And I will satiate 7301 8765 the soul 5315 of the priests 3548 with fatness 1880, and my people 5971 shall be satisfied 7646 8799 with my goodness 2898, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068.

31:15 Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068; A voice 6963 was heard 8085 8738 in Ramah 7414, lamentation 5092, [and] bitter 8563 weeping 1065; Rahel 7354 weeping 1058 8764 for her children 1121 refused 3985 8765 to be comforted 5162 8736 for her children 1121, because they [were] not.

31:16 Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068; Refrain 4513 8798 thy voice 6963 from weeping 1065, and thine eyes 5869 from tears 1832: for thy work 6468 shall be 3426 rewarded 7939, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068; and they shall come again 7725 8804 from the land 776 of the enemy 341 8802.

31:17 And there is 3426 hope 8615 in thine end 319, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068, that thy children 1121 shall come again 7725 8804 to their own border 1366.

31:18 I have surely 8085 8800 heard 8085 8804 Ephraim 669 bemoaning 5110 8711 himself [thus]; Thou hast chastised 3256 8765 me, and I was chastised 3256 8735, as a bullock 5695 unaccustomed 3808 3925 8795 [to the yoke]: turn 7725 8685 thou me, and I shall be turned 7725 8799; for thou [art] the LORD 3068 my God 430.

31:19 Surely after 310 that I was turned 7725 8800, I repented 5162 8738; and after 310 that I was instructed 3045 8736, I smote 5606 8804 upon [my] thigh 3409: I was ashamed 954 8804, yea, even confounded 3637 8738, because I did bear 5375 8804 the reproach 2781 of my youth 5271.

31:20 [Is] Ephraim 669 my dear 3357 son 1121? [is he] a pleasant 8191 child 3206? for since 1767 I spake 1696 8763 against him, I do earnestly 2142 8800 remember 2142 8799 him still: therefore my bowels 4578 are troubled 1993 8804 for him; I will surely 7355 8763 have mercy 7355 8762 upon him, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068.(are…: Heb. sound)

31:21 Set thee up 5324 8685 waymarks 6725, make 7760 8798 thee high heaps 8564: set 7896 8798 thine heart 3820 toward the highway 4546, [even] the way 1870 [which] thou wentest 1980 8804: turn again 7725 8798, O virgin 1330 of Israel 3478, turn again 7725 8798 to these thy cities 5892.

31:22 How long wilt thou go about 2559 8691, O thou backsliding 7728 daughter 1323? for the LORD 3068 hath created 1254 8804 a new thing 2319 in the earth 776, A woman 5347 shall compass 5437 8779 a man 1397.

31:23 Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, the God 430 of Israel 3478; As yet they shall use 559 8799 this speech 1697 in the land 776 of Judah 3063 and in the cities 5892 thereof, when I shall bring again 7725 8800 their captivity 7622; The LORD 3068 bless 1288 8762 thee, O habitation 5116 of justice 6664, [and] mountain 2022 of holiness 6944.

31:24 And there shall dwell 3427 8804 in Judah 3063 itself, and in all the cities 5892 thereof together 3162, husbandmen 406, and they [that] go forth 5265 8804 with flocks 5739.

31:25 For I have satiated 7301 8689 the weary 5889 soul 5315, and I have replenished 4390 8765 every sorrowful 1669 8804 soul 5315.

31:26 Upon this I awaked 6974 8689, and beheld 7200 8799; and my sleep 8142 was sweet 6149 8804 unto me.

31:27 Behold, the days 3117 come 935 8802, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068, that I will sow 2232 8804 the house 1004 of Israel 3478 and the house 1004 of Judah 3063 with the seed 2233 of man 120, and with the seed 2233 of beast 929.

31:28 And it shall come to pass, [that] like as I have watched over 8245 8804 them, to pluck up 5428 8800, and to break down 5422 8800, and to throw down 2040 8800, and to destroy 6 8687, and to afflict 7489 8687; so will I watch over 8245 8799 them, to build 1129 8800, and to plant 5193 8800, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068.

31:29 In those days 3117 they shall say 559 8799 no more, The fathers 1 have eaten 398 8804 a sour grape 1155, and the children's 1121 teeth 8127 are set on edge 6949 8799.

31:30 But every one 376 shall die 4191 8799 for his own iniquity 5771: every man 120 that eateth 398 8802 the sour grape 1155, his teeth 8127 shall be set on edge 6949 8799.

31:31 Behold, the days 3117 come 935 8802, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068, that I will make 3772 8804 a new 2319 covenant 1285 with the house 1004 of Israel 3478, and with the house 1004 of Judah 3063:

31:32 Not according to the covenant 1285 that I made 3772 8804 with their fathers 1 in the day 3117 [that] I took 2388 8687 them by the hand 3027 to bring them out 3318 8687 of the land 776 of Egypt 4714; which my covenant 1285 they brake 6565 8689, although I was an husband 1166 8804 unto them, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068:(although…: or, should I have continued an husband unto them?)

31:33 But this [shall be] the covenant 1285 that I will make 3772 8799 with the house 1004 of Israel 3478; After 310 those days 3117, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068, I will put 5414 8804 my law 8451 in their inward parts 7130, and write 3789 8799 it in their hearts 3820; and will be their God 430, and they shall be my people 5971.

31:34 And they shall teach 3925 8762 no more every man 376 his neighbour 7453, and every man 376 his brother 251, saying 559 8800, Know 3045 8798 the LORD 3068: for they shall all know 3045 8799 me, from the least 6996 of them unto the greatest 1419 of them, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068: for I will forgive 5545 8799 their iniquity 5771, and I will remember 2142 8799 their sin 2403 no more.

31:35 Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068, which giveth 5414 8802 the sun 8121 for a light 216 by day 3119, [and] the ordinances 2708 of the moon 3394 and of the stars 3556 for a light 216 by night 3915, which divideth 7280 8802 the sea 3220 when the waves 1530 thereof roar 1993 8799; The LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 [is] his name 8034:

31:36 If those ordinances 2706 depart 4185 8799 from before 6440 me, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068, [then] the seed 2233 of Israel 3478 also shall cease 7673 8799 from being a nation 1471 before 6440 me for ever 3117.

31:37 Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068; If heaven 8064 above 4605 can be measured 4058 8735, and the foundations 4146 of the earth 776 searched out 2713 8735 beneath 4295, I will also cast off 3988 8799 all the seed 2233 of Israel 3478 for all that they have done 6213 8804, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068.

31:38 Behold, the days 3117 come 935 8802, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068, that the city 5892 shall be built 1129 8738 to the LORD 3068 from the tower 4026 of Hananeel 2606 unto the gate 8179 of the corner 6438.

31:39 And the measuring 4060 line 6957 8675 6961 shall yet go forth 3318 8804 over against it upon the hill 1389 Gareb 1619, and shall compass about 5437 8738 to Goath 1601.

31:40 And the whole valley 6010 of the dead bodies 6297, and of the ashes 1880, and all the fields 7709 8675 8309 unto the brook 5158 of Kidron 6939, unto the corner 6438 of the horse 5483 gate 8179 toward the east 4217, [shall be] holy 6944 unto the LORD 3068; it shall not be plucked up 5428 8735, nor thrown down 2040 8735 any more for ever 5769.
