Jeremiah 31:7-9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
The Road of Return
7 For thus says the Lord:
Shout with joy for Jacob,
exult at the head of the nations;
proclaim your praise and say:
The Lord has saved his people,
the remnant of Israel.(A)
8 Look! I will bring them back
from the land of the north;
I will gather them from the ends of the earth,
the blind and the lame in their midst,
Pregnant women, together with those in labor—
an immense throng—they shall return.(B)
9 With weeping they shall come,
but with compassion I will guide them;
I will lead them to streams of water,
on a level road, without stumbling.
For I am a father to Israel,
Ephraim is my firstborn.(C)

Jeremiah 31:7-9
New International Version
7 This is what the Lord says:
“Sing(A) with joy for Jacob;
shout for the foremost(B) of the nations.
Make your praises heard, and say,
‘Lord, save(C) your people,
the remnant(D) of Israel.’
8 See, I will bring them from the land of the north(E)
and gather(F) them from the ends of the earth.
Among them will be the blind(G) and the lame,(H)
expectant mothers and women in labor;
a great throng will return.
9 They will come with weeping;(I)
they will pray as I bring them back.
I will lead(J) them beside streams of water(K)
on a level(L) path where they will not stumble,
because I am Israel’s father,(M)
and Ephraim is my firstborn son.
