Jeremiah 31:7-9

New International Version - UK

‘Sing with joy for Jacob;
    shout for the foremost of the nations.
Make your praises heard, and say,
    “Lord, save your people,
    the remnant of Israel.”
⁸ See, I will bring them from the land of the north
    and gather them from the ends of the earth.
Among them will be the blind and the lame,
    expectant mothers and women in labour;
    a great throng will return.
⁹ They will come with weeping;
    they will pray as I bring them back.
I will lead them beside streams of water
    on a level path where they will not stumble,
because I am Israel’s father,
    and Ephraim is my firstborn son.
