31:13. Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, the young men and old
men together: and I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort
them, and make them joyful after their sorrow.
31:14. And I will fill the soul of the priests with fatness: and my
people shall be filled with my good things, saith the Lord.
31:15. Thus saith the Lord: A voice was heard on high of lamentation, of
mourning, and weeping, of Rachel weeping for her children and refusing
to be comforted for them, because they are not.
31:16. Thus saith the Lord: Let thy voice cease from weeping, and thy
eyes tears: for there is a reward for thy work, saith the Lord: and they
shall return out of the land of the enemy.
31:17. And there is hope for thy last end, saith the Lord: and the
children shall return to their own borders.
31:18. Hearing I heard Ephraim when he went into captivity: thou hast
chastised me, and I was instructed, as a young bullock unaccustomed to
the yoke. Convert me, and I shall be converted, for thou art the Lord my
God.
31:19. For after thou didst convert me, I did penance: and after thou
didst shew unto me, I struck my thigh: I am confounded and ashamed,
because I have borne the reproach of my youth.
31:20. Surely Ephraim is an honourable son to me, surely he is a tender
child: for since I spoke of him, I will still remember him. Therefore
are my bowels troubled for him: pitying I will pity him, saith the Lord.
31:21. Set thee up a watchtower, make to thee bitterness: direct thy
heart into the right way, wherein thou hast walked: return, O virgin of
Israel, return to these thy cities.
31:22. How long wilt thou be dissolute in deliciousness, O wandering
daughter? for the Lord hath created a new thing upon the earth: A WOMAN
SHALL COMPASS A MAN.
31:23. Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: As yet shall
they say this word in the land of Juda, and in the cities thereof, when
I shall bring back their captivity: The Lord bless thee, the beauty of
justice, the holy mountain.
31:24. And Juda and all his cities shall dwell therein together: the
husbandman and they that drive the flocks.
31:25. For I have inebriated the weary soul: and I have filled every
hungry soul.
31:26. Upon this I was as it were awaked out of a sleep, and I saw, and
my sleep was sweet to me.
31:27. Behold the days come, saith the Lord: and I will sow the house of
Israel and the house of Juda with the seed of men, and with the seed of
beasts.
31:28. And as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to throw down,
and to scatter, and destroy, and afflict: so will I watch over them, to
build up, and to plant them, saith the Lord.
31:29. In those days they shall say no more: The fathers have eaten a
sour grape, and the teeth of the children are set on edge.
31:30. But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that
shall eat the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
31:31. Behold the days shall come, saith the Lord, and I will make a new
covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Juda:
31:32. Not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in
the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of
Egypt, the covenant which they made void, and I had dominion over them,
saith the Lord.
31:33. But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of
Israel, after those days, saith the Lord: I will give my law in their
bowels, and I will write it in their heart: and I will be their God, and
they shall be my people.
