Thus saith the Lord, I found him warm in the wilderness with them that were slain with the sword: go ye and destroy not Israel. |
|
31:2
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
The people°
[which were] left°
of the sword°
found°°
grace°
in the wilderness;°
[even] Israel,°
when I went°°
to cause him to rest.°° |
|
31:3
The Lord appeared to him from afar, [saying], I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore have I drawn thee in compassion. |
|
31:3
Yahweh°
hath appeared°°
of old°°
unto me, [saying], Yea, I have loved°°
thee with an everlasting°
love:°
therefore°°
with lovingkindness°
have I drawn°°
thee. |
|
31:4
For I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt yet take thy timbrel, and go forth with the party of them that make merry. |
|
31:4
Again°
I will build°°
thee, and thou shalt be built,°°
O virgin°
of Israel:°
thou shalt again°
be adorned°°
with thy tabrets,°
and shalt go forth°°
in the dances°
of them that make merry.°° |
|
31:5
For ye have planted vineyards on the mountains of Samaria: plant ye, and praise. |
|
31:5
Thou shalt yet°
plant°°
vines°
upon the mountains°
of Samaria:°
the planters°°
shall plant,°°
and shall eat [them] as common things.°° |
|
31:6
For it is a day when those that plead on the mountains of Ephraim shall call, [saying], Arise ye, and go up to Zion{gr.Sion} to the Lord your God. |
|
31:6
For°
there shall be°
a day,°
[that] the watchmen°°
upon the mount°
Ephraim°
shall cry,°°
Arise°°
ye, and let us go up°°
to Zion°
unto°
Yahweh°
our Elohim.° |
|
31:7
For thus saith the Lord to Jacob; Rejoice ye, and exult over the head of the nations: make proclamation, and praise ye: say, The Lord has delivered his people, the remnant of Israel. |

31:7
For°
thus°
saith°°
Yahweh;°
Sing°°
with gladness°
for Jacob,°
and shout°°
among the chief°
of the nations:°
publish°°
ye, praise°°
ye, and say,°°
O Yahweh,°
save°°°
thy people,°°
the remnant°
of Israel.° |
|
31:8
Behold, I bring them from the north, and will gather them from the end of the earth to the feast of the passover: and [the people] shall beget a great multitude, and they shall return hither. |
|
31:8
Behold,°
I will bring°°
them from the north°
country,°°
and gather°°
them from the coasts°°
of the earth,°
[and] with them the blind°
and the lame,°
the woman with child°°
and her that travaileth with child°°
together:°
a great°
company°
shall return°°
thither.° |
|
31:9
They went forth with weeping, and I will bring them back with consolation, causing them to lodge by the channels of waters in a straight way, and they shall not err in it: for I am become a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my first-born. |
|
31:9
They shall come°°
with weeping,°
and with supplications°
will I lead°°
them: I will cause them to walk°°°
by°
the rivers°
of waters°
in a straight°
way,°
wherein they shall not°
stumble:°°
for°
I am°
a father°
to Israel,°

[is] my firstborn.° |
|
31:10 ¶
Hear the words of the Lord, ye nations, and proclaim [them] to the islands afar off; say, He that scattered Israel will also gather him, and keep him as one that feeds his flock. |

Hear°°
the word°
of Yahweh,°
O ye nations,°
and declare°°
[it] in the isles°
afar off,°°
and say,°°
He that scattered°°
Israel°
will gather°°
him, and keep°°
him, as a shepherd°°
[doth] his flock.° |
|
31:11
For the Lord has ransomed Jacob, he has rescued him out of the hand of them [that were] stronger than he. |

him from the hand°°

|
31:12
Therefore they shall come°°
and sing°°
in the height°
of Zion,°
and shall flow together°°
to°
the goodness°
of Yahweh,°
for°
wheat,°
and for°
wine,°
and for°
oil,°
and for°
the young°
of the flock°
and of the herd:°
and their soul°
shall be°
as a watered°
garden;°
and they shall not°
sorrow°°
any more°°
at all. |
|
31:13
Then shall the virgins rejoice in the assembly of youth, and the old men shall rejoice; and I will turn their mourning into joy, and will make them merry. |
|
31:13
Then°
shall the virgin°
rejoice°°
in the dance,°
both young men°
and old°
together:°
for I will turn°°
their mourning°
into joy,°
and will comfort°°
them, and make them rejoice°°
from their sorrow.°° |
|
31:14
I will expand and cheer with wine the soul of the priests the sons of Levi, and my people shall be satisfied with my good things: thus saith the Lord. |
|
31:14
And I will satiate°°
the soul°
of the priests°
with fatness,°
and my people°
shall be satisfied°°
with°°
my goodness,°
saith°°
Yahweh.° |
|
31:15 ¶
A voice was heard in Ramah{gr.Rama}, of lamentation, and of weeping, and wailing; Rachel would not cease weeping for her children, because they are not. |
|
31:15 ¶
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh;°
A voice°
was heard°°
in Ramah,°
lamentation,°
[and] bitter°
weeping;°
Rahel°
weeping°°
for°
her children°
refused°°
to be comforted°°
for°
her children,°
because°
they [were] not.° |
|
31:16
Thus saith the Lord; Let thy voice cease from weeping, and thine eyes from thy tears: for their is a reward for thy works; and they shall return from the land of [thine] enemies. |
|
31:16
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh;°
Refrain°°
thy voice°
from weeping,°°
and thine eyes°
from tears:°°
for°
thy work°
shall be°
rewarded,°
saith°°
Yahweh;°
and they shall come again°°
from the land°°
of the enemy.°° |
|
31:17
[There shall be] an abiding [home] for thy children. |

to their own border.° |
|
31:18 ¶
I have heard the sound of Ephraim lamenting, [and saying], Thou hast chastened me, and I was chastened; I as a calf was not [willingly] taught: turn thou me, and I shall turn; for thou [art] the Lord my God. |
|
31:18 ¶
I have surely°°
heard°°
Ephraim°
bemoaning°°
himself°
[thus]; Thou hast chastised°°
me, and I was chastised,°°
as a bullock°
unaccustomed°°°
[to the yoke]: turn°°
thou me, and I shall be turned;°°
for°
thou°
[art] Yahweh°
my Elohim.° |
|
31:19
For after my captivity I repented; and after I knew, I groaned for the day of shame, and shewed thee that I bore reproach from my youth. |
|
31:19
Surely°
after°
that°
I was turned,°°
I repented;°°
and after°
that°
I was instructed,°°
I smote°°
upon°
[my] thigh:°
I was ashamed,°°
yea, even°
confounded,°°
because°
I did bear°°
the reproach°
of my youth.° |
|
31:20
Ephraim is a beloved son, a pleasing child to me: for because my words are in him, I will surely remember him: therefore I made haste [to help] him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the Lord. |
|
31:20
[Is] Ephraim°
my dear°
son?°
[is he] a pleasant°
child?°
for°
since°°
I spake°°
against him, I do earnestly°°
remember°°
him still:°
therefore°°
my bowels°
are troubled°°
for him; I will surely°°
have mercy°°
upon him, saith°°
Yahweh.° |
|
31:21
Prepare thyself, O Zion{gr.Sion}; execute vengeance; look to thy ways: return, O virgin of Israel, by the way by which thou wentest, return mourning to thy cities. |
|
31:21
Set thee up°°
waymarks,°
make°°
thee high heaps:°
set°°
thine heart°
toward the highway,°
[even] the way°
[which] thou wentest:°°
turn again,°°
O virgin°
of Israel,°
turn again°°
to°
these°
thy cities.° |
|
31:22 ¶
How long, O disgraced daughter, wilt thou turn away? for the Lord has created safety for a new plantation: men shall go about in safety. |
|
31:22 ¶
How long°°
wilt thou go about,°°
O thou backsliding°
daughter?°
for°
Yahweh°
hath created°°
a new thing°
in the earth,°
A woman°
shall compass°°
a man.° |
|
31:23
For thus saith the Lord; They shall yet speak this word in the land of Judah{gr.Juda}, and in the cities thereof, when I shall turn his captivity; blessed be the Lord on his righteous holy mountain! |
|
31:23
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth,°
the Elohim°
of Israel;°
As yet°
they shall use°°°
this°
speech°
in the land°
of Judah°
and in the cities°
thereof, when I shall bring again°°°
their captivity;°
Yahweh°
bless°°
thee, O habitation°
of justice,°
[and] mountain°
of holiness.° |
|
31:24
And there shall be dwellers in the cities of Judah{gr.Juda}, and in all his land, together with the husbandman, and [the shepherd] shall go forth with the flock. |
|
31:24
And there shall dwell°°
in Judah°
itself, and in all°
the cities°
thereof together,°
husbandmen,°
and they [that] go forth°°
with flocks.° |
|
31:25
For I have saturated every thirsting soul, and filled every hungry soul. |
|
31:25
For°
I have satiated°°
the weary°
soul,°
and I have replenished°°
every°
sorrowful°°
soul.° |
|
31:26
Therefore I awake, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet to me. |
|
31:26
Upon°
this°
I awaked,°°
and beheld;°°
and my sleep°
was sweet°°
unto me. |
|
31:27 ¶
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah{gr.Juda} with the seed of man, and the seed of beast. |
|
31:27 ¶
Behold,°
the days°
come,°°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
that I will sow°°°
the house°
of Israel°
and the house°
of Judah°
with the seed°
of man,°
and with the seed°
of beast.° |
|
31:28
And it shall come to pass, that as I watched over them, to pull down, and to afflict, so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the Lord. |
|
31:28
And it shall come to pass,°
[that] like as°
I have watched°
over°°°
them, to pluck up,°°
and to break down,°°
and to throw down,°°
and to destroy,°°
and to afflict;°°
so°
will I watch°
over°°°
them, to build,°°
and to plant,°°
saith°°
Yahweh.° |
|
31:29
In those days they shall certainly not say, The fathers ate a sour grape, and the children's teeth were set on edge. |
|
31:29
In those°
days°
they shall say°°
no°
more,°
The fathers°
have eaten°°
a sour grape,°
and the children's°
teeth°
are set on edge.°° |
|
31:30
But every one shall die in his own sin; and the teeth of him that eats the sour grape shall be set on edge. |
|
31:30
But°°
every one°
shall die°°
for his own iniquity:°
every°
man°
that eateth°°
the sour grape,°
his teeth°
shall be set on edge.°° |
|
31:31 ¶
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah{gr.Juda}: |
|
31:31 ¶
Behold,°
the days°
come,°°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
that I will make°°
a new°
covenant°
with°
the house°
of Israel,°
and with°
the house°
of Judah:° |
|
31:32
not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day when I took hold of their hand to bring them out of the land of Mizraim{gr.Egypt}; for they abode not in my covenant, and I disregarded them, saith the Lord. |
|
31:32
Not°
according to the covenant°
that°
I made°°
with°
their fathers°
in the day°
[that] I took°°
them by the hand°
to bring°
them out°°
of the land°°
of Egypt;°
which°°
my covenant°
they°
brake,°°
although I°
was an husband°°
unto them, saith°°
Yahweh:° |
|
31:33
For this is my covenant which I will make with the house of Israel; after those days, saith the Lord, I will surely put my laws into their mind, and write them on their hearts; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people. |
|
31:33
But°
this°
[shall be] the covenant°
that°
I will make°°
with°
the house°
of Israel;°
After°
those°
days,°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
I will put°°°
my law°
in their inward parts,°
and write°°
it in°
their hearts;°
and will be°
their Elohim,°
and they°
shall be°
my people.° |
|
31:34
And they shall not at all teach every one his [fellow] citizen, and every one his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them: for I will be merciful to their iniquities, and their sins I will remember no more. |
|
31:34
And they shall teach°°
no°
more°
every man°°
his neighbour,°
and every man°°
his brother,°
saying,°°
Know°°°
Yahweh:°
for°
they shall all°
know°°
me, from the least°°
of them unto°
the greatest°
of them, saith°°
Yahweh:°
for°
I will forgive°°
their iniquity,°
and I will remember°°
their sin°
no°
more.° |
|
31:35 ¶
Thus saith the Lord, who gives the sun for a light by day, the moon and the stars for a light by night, and [makes] a roaring in the sea, so that the waves thereof roar; the Lord Almighty is his name: |
|
31:35 ¶
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
which giveth°°
the sun°
for a light°
by day,°
[and] the ordinances°
of the moon°
and of the stars°
for a light°
by night,°
which divideth°°
the sea°
when the waves°
thereof roar;°°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth°
[is] his name:° |
|
31:36
if these ordinances cease from before me, saith the Lord, then shall the family of Israel cease to be a nation before me forever. |
|
31:36
If°
those°
ordinances°
depart°°
from before°°
me, saith°°
Yahweh,°
[then] the seed°
of Israel°
also°
shall cease°°
from being°°
a nation°
before°
me for ever.°° |
|
31:37
Though the sky should be raised to a [greater] height, saith the Lord, and though the ground of the earth should be sunk [lower] beneath, yet I will not cast off the family of Israel, saith the Lord, for all that they have done. |
|
31:37
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh;°
If°
heaven°
above°°
can be measured,°°
and the foundations°
of the earth°
searched out°°
beneath,°
I°
will also°
cast off°°
all°
the seed°
of Israel°
for°
all°
that°
they have done,°°
saith°°
Yahweh.° |

31:38 ¶
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when the city shall be built to the Lord from the tower of Hananeel{gr.Anameel} to the gate of the corner. |

31:38 ¶
Behold,°
the days°
come,°°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
that the city°
shall be built°°
to Yahweh°
from the tower°°
of Hananeel°
unto the gate°
of the corner.° |
|
31:39
And the measurement of it shall proceed in front of them as far as the hills of Gareb, and it shall be compassed with a circular wall of choice stones. |
|
31:39
And the measuring°
line°°°
shall yet°
go forth°°
over against°
it upon°
the hill°
Gareb,°
and shall compass about°°
to Goath.° |
|
31:40
And all the Asaremoth even to Nachal Kidron{gr.Kedron}, as far as the corner of the horse-gate eastward, shall be holiness to the Lord; and it shall not fail any more, and shall not be destroyed for ever. |
|
31:40
And the whole°
valley°
of the dead bodies,°
and of the ashes,°
and all°
the fields°°°
unto°
the brook°
of Kidron,°
unto°
the corner°
of the horse°
gate°
toward the east,°
[shall be] holy°
unto Yahweh;°
it shall not°
be plucked up,°°
nor°
thrown down°°
any more°
for ever.° |
