Jeremiah 31:21-26

Common English Bible

²¹Set up markers,
    put up signs;
    think about the road you have traveled,
        the path you have taken.
Return, virgin Israel;
    return to these towns of yours.
²²How long will you hem and haw,
    my rebellious daughter?
The Lord has created something new on earth:
    Virgin Israel will once again embrace her God!^[a]

²³The Lord of heavenly forces, the God of Israel, proclaims: When I bring my people^[b] back from captivity, they will once again utter these words in the land and towns of Judah:

The Lord bless you,
righteous dwelling place,
holy mountain.

²⁴Those who live in Judah and its towns will dwell together with farmers and shepherds. ²⁵I will strengthen the weary and renew those who are weak.

²⁶Then I woke up and looked around. What a pleasant sleep I had!
