Jeremiah 31:20-26

Jeremiah 31:20-26

[20] Is Ephraim  my dear  son?  is he a pleasant  child?  for since  I spake  against him, I do earnestly  him still: therefore my bowels  are troubled  for him; I will surely  upon him, saith  the LORD.  [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.  [22] How long wilt thou go about,  O thou backsliding  daughter?  for the LORD  hath created  a new thing  in the earth,  A woman  shall compass  a man.  [23] Thus saith  the LORD  of hosts,  the God  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;  The LORD  bless  thee, O habitation  of justice,  and mountain  of holiness.  [24] And there shall dwell  in Judah  itself, and in all the cities  thereof together,  husbandmen,  and they that go forth  with flocks.  [25] For I have satiated  the weary  soul,  and I have replenished  every sorrowful  soul.  [26] Upon this I awaked,  and beheld;  and my sleep  was sweet  unto me.
