Jeremiah 31:14-33 (New Revised Standard)
14
I will give the priests their fill of fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my bounty, says the Lord.
15
Thus says the Lord: A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping. Rachel is weeping for her children; she refuses to be comforted for her children, because they are no more.
16
Thus says the Lord: Keep your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears; for there is a reward for your work, says the Lord: they shall come back from the land of the enemy;
17
there is hope for your future, says the Lord: your children shall come back to their own country.
18
Indeed I heard Ephraim pleading: "You disciplined me, and I took the discipline; I was like a calf untrained. Bring me back, let me come back, for you are the Lord my God.
19
For after I had turned away I repented; and after I was discovered, I struck my thigh; I was ashamed, and I was dismayed because I bore the disgrace of my youth."
20
Is Ephraim my dear son? Is he the child I delight in? As often as I speak against him, I still remember him. Therefore I am deeply moved for him; I will surely have mercy on him, says the Lord.
21
Set up road markers for yourself, make yourself guideposts; consider well the highway, the road by which you went. Return, O virgin Israel, return to these your cities.
22
How long will you waver, O faithless daughter? For the Lord has created a new thing on the earth: a woman encompasses a a man.
23
Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Once more they shall use these words in the land of Judah and in its towns when I restore their fortunes: "The Lord bless you, O abode of righteousness, O holy hill!"
24
And Judah and all its towns shall live there together, and the farmers and those who wander b with their flocks.
25
I will satisfy the weary, and all who are faint I will replenish.
26
Thereupon I awoke and looked, and my sleep was pleasant to me.
27
The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of humans and the seed of animals.
28
And just as I have watched over them to pluck up and break down, to overthrow, destroy, and bring evil, so I will watch over them to build and to plant, says the Lord.
29
In those days they shall no longer say: "The parents have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge."
30
But all shall die for their own sins; the teeth of everyone who eats sour grapes shall be set on edge.
31
The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah.
32
It will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt—a covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, c says the Lord.
33
But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
