World English Bible Classic
[1] “At that time,” says Yahweh, “I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people.” [2] Yahweh says, “The people who survive the sword found favor in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.” [3] Yahweh appeared of old to me, saying,
“Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love.
Therefore I have drawn you with loving kindness.
[4] I will build you again,
and you will be built, O virgin of Israel.
You will again be adorned with your tambourines,
and will go out in the dances of those who make merry.
[5] Again you will plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria.
The planters will plant,
and will enjoy its fruit.
[6] For there will be a day that the watchmen on the hills of Ephraim cry,
‘Arise! Let’s go up to Zion to Yahweh our God.’ ”
[7] For Yahweh says,
“Sing with gladness for Jacob,
and shout for the chief of the nations.
Publish, praise, and say,
‘Yahweh, save your people,
the remnant of Israel!’
[8] Behold, I will bring them from the north country,
and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth,
along with the blind and the lame,
the woman with child and her who travails with child together.
They will return as a great company.
[9] They will come with weeping.
I will lead them with petitions.
I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters,
in a straight way in which they won’t stumble;
for I am a father to Israel.
Ephraim is my firstborn.
[10] “Hear Yahweh’s word, you nations,
and declare it in the distant islands. Say,
‘He who scattered Israel will gather him,
and keep him, as a shepherd does his flock.’
[11] For Yahweh has ransomed Jacob,
and redeemed him from the hand of him who was stronger than he.
[12] They will come and sing in the height of Zion,
and will flow to the goodness of Yahweh,
to the grain, to the new wine, to the oil,
and to the young of the flock and of the herd.
Their soul will be as a watered garden.
They will not sorrow any more at all.
[13] Then the virgin will rejoice in the dance,
the young men and the old together;
for I will turn their mourning into joy,
and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
[14] I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness,
and my people will be satisfied with my goodness,” says Yahweh.
[15] Yahweh says:
“A voice is heard in Ramah,
lamentation and bitter weeping,
Rachel weeping for her children.
She refuses to be comforted for her children,
because they are no more.”
[16] Yahweh says:
“Refrain your voice from weeping,
and your eyes from tears,
for your work will be rewarded,” says Yahweh.
“They will come again from the land of the enemy.
[17] There is hope for your latter end,” says Yahweh.
“Your children will come again to their own territory.
[18] “I have surely heard Ephraim grieving thus,
‘You have chastised me,
and I was chastised, as an untrained calf.
Turn me, and I will be turned,
for you are Yahweh my God.
[19] Surely after that I was turned.
I repented.
After that I was instructed.
I struck my thigh.
I was ashamed, yes, even confounded,
because I bore the reproach of my youth.’
[20] Is Ephraim my dear son?
Is he a darling child?
For as often as I speak against him,
I still earnestly remember him.
Therefore my heart yearns for him.
I will surely have mercy on him,” says Yahweh.
[21] “Set up road signs.
Make guideposts.
Set your heart toward the highway,
even the way by which you went.
Turn again, virgin of Israel.
Turn again to these your cities.
[22] How long will you go here and there,
you backsliding daughter?
For Yahweh has created a new thing in the earth:
a woman will encompass a man.”
[23] Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Yet again they will use this speech in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I reverse their captivity: ‘Yahweh bless you, habitation of righteousness, mountain of holiness.’ [24] Judah and all its cities will dwell therein together, the farmers, and those who go about with flocks. [25] For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.” [26] On this I awakened, and saw; and my sleep was sweet to me. [27] “Behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and with the seed of animal. [28] It will happen that, like as I have watched over them to pluck up and to break down and to overthrow and to destroy and to afflict, so I will watch over them to build and to plant,” says Yahweh. [29] “In those days they will say no more,
“ ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes,
and the children’s teeth are set on edge.’
[30] But everyone will die for his own iniquity. Every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth will be set on edge. [31] “Behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah, [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 covenant of mine they broke, although I was a husband to them,” says Yahweh. [33] “But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” says Yahweh:
“I will put my law in their inward parts,
and I will write it in their heart.
I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
[34] They will no longer each teach his neighbor,
and every man teach his brother, saying, ‘Know Yahweh;’
for they will all know me,
from their least to their greatest,” says Yahweh,
“for I will forgive their iniquity,
and I will remember their sin no more.”
[35] Yahweh, who gives the sun for a light by day,
and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night,
who stirs up the sea, so that its waves roar—
Yahweh of Armies is his name, says:
[36] “If these ordinances depart from before me,” says Yahweh,
“then the offspring of Israel also will cease from being a nation before me forever.”
[37] Yahweh says: “If heaven above can be measured,
and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath,
then I will also cast off all the offspring of Israel for all that they have done,” says Yahweh.
[38] “Behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that the city will be built to Yahweh from the tower of Hananel to the gate of the corner. [39] The measuring line will go out further straight onward to the hill Gareb, and will turn toward Goah. [40] The whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields to the brook Kidron, to the corner of the horse gate toward the east, will be holy to Yahweh. It will not be plucked up or thrown down any more forever.”
King James Version
[1] At the same time,H6256 saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord,H3068 will I be the GodH430 of all the familiesH4940 of Israel,H3478 and they shall be my people.H5971 [2] Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord,H3068 The peopleH5971 [which were] leftH8300 of the swordH2719 foundH4672(QalPerf) graceH2580 in the wilderness;H4057 [even] Israel,H3478 when I wentH1980(QalInf) to cause him to rest.H7280(HiphInf) [3] The LordH3068 hath appearedH7200(NiphPerf) of oldH7350 unto me, [saying], Yea, I have lovedH157(QalPerf) thee with an everlastingH5769 love:H160 therefore with lovingkindnessH2617 have I drawnH4900(QalPerf) thee. [4] Again I will buildH1129(QalImpf) thee, and thou shalt be built,H1129(NiphPerf) O virginH1330 of Israel:H3478 thou shalt again be adornedH5710(QalImpf) with thy tabrets,H8596 and shalt go forthH3318(QalPerf) in the dancesH4234 of them that make merry.H7832(PielPtc) [5] Thou shalt yet plantH5193(QalImpf) vinesH3754 upon the mountainsH2022 of Samaria:H8111 the plantersH5193(QalActPtc) shall plant,H5193(QalPerf) and shall eat [them] as common things.H2490(PielPerf) [6] For there shall beH3426 a day,H3117 [that] the watchmenH5341(QalActPtc) upon the mountH2022 EphraimH669 shall cry,H7121(QalPerf) AriseH6965(QalImpv) ye, and let us go upH5927(QalImpf) to ZionH6726 unto the LordH3068 our God.H430 [7] For thus saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord;H3068 SingH7442(QalImpv) with gladnessH8057 for Jacob,H3290 and shoutH6670(PielImpv) among the chiefH7218 of the nations:H1471 publishH8085(HiphImpv) ye, praiseH1984(PielImpv) ye, and say,H559(QalImpv) O Lord,H3068 saveH3467(HiphImpv) thy people,H5971 the remnantH7611 of Israel.H3478 [8] Behold, I will bringH935(HiphPtc) them from the northH6828 country,H776 and gatherH6908(PielPerf) them from the coastsH3411 of the earth,H776 [and] with them the blindH5787 and the lame,H6455 the woman with childH2030 and her that travaileth with childH3205(QalActPtc) together:H3162 a greatH1419 companyH6951 shall returnH7725(QalImpf) thither. [9] They shall comeH935(QalImpf) with weeping,H1065 and with supplicationsH8469 will I leadH2986(HiphImpf) them: I will cause them to walkH3212(HiphImpf) by the riversH5158 of watersH4325 in a straightH3477 way,H1870 wherein they shall not stumble:H3782(NiphImpf) for I am a fatherH1 to Israel,H3478 and EphraimH669 [is] my firstborn.H1060 [10] HearH8085(QalImpv) the wordH1697 of the Lord,H3068 O ye nations,H1471 and declareH5046(HiphImpv) [it] in the islesH339 afar off,H4801 and say,H559(QalImpv) He that scatteredH2219(PielPtc) IsraelH3478 will gatherH6908(PielImpf) him, and keepH8104(QalPerf) him, as a shepherdH7462(QalActPtc) [doth] his flock.H5739 [11] For the LordH3068 hath redeemedH6299(QalPerf) Jacob,H3290 and ransomedH1350(QalPerf) him from the handH3027 of [him that was] strongerH2389 than he. [12] Therefore they shall comeH935(QalPerf) and singH7442(PielPerf) in the heightH4791 of Zion,H6726 and shall flow togetherH5102(QalPerf) to the goodnessH2898 of the Lord,H3068 for wheat,H1715 and for wine,H8492 and for oil,H3323 and for the youngH1121 of the flockH6629 and of the herd:H1241 and their soulH5315 shall be as a wateredH7302 garden;H1588 and they shall not sorrowH1669(QalInf) any moreH3254(HiphImpf) at all. [13] Then shall the virginH1330 rejoiceH8055(QalImpf) in the dance,H4234 both young menH970 and oldH2205 together:H3162 for I will turnH2015(QalPerf) their mourningH60 into joy,H8342 and will comfortH5162(PielPerf) them, and make them rejoiceH8055(PielPerf) from their sorrow.H3015 [14] And I will satiateH7301(PielPerf) the soulH5315 of the priestsH3548 with fatness,H1880 and my peopleH5971 shall be satisfiedH7646(QalImpf) with my goodness,H2898 saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord.H3068 [15] Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord;H3068 A voiceH6963 was heardH8085(NiphPerf) in Ramah,H7414 lamentation,H5092 [and] bitterH8563 weeping;H1065 RahelH7354 weepingH1058(PielPtc) for her childrenH1121 refusedH3985(PielPerf) to be comfortedH5162(NiphInf) for her children,H1121 because they [were] not. [16] Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord;H3068 RefrainH4513(QalImpv) thy voiceH6963 from weeping,H1065 and thine eyesH5869 from tears:H1832 for thy workH6468 shall beH3426 rewarded,H7939 saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord;H3068 and they shall come againH7725(QalPerf) from the landH776 of the enemy.H341(QalActPtc) [17] And there isH3426 hopeH8615 in thine end,H319 saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord,H3068 that thy childrenH1121 shall come againH7725(QalPerf) to their own border.H1366 [18] I have surelyH8085(QalInf) heardH8085(QalPerf) EphraimH669 bemoaningH5110(HiplPtc) himself [thus]; Thou hast chastisedH3256(PielPerf) me, and I was chastised,H3256(NiphImpf) as a bullockH5695 unaccustomedH3808 [to the yoke]: turnH7725(HiphImpv) thou me, and I shall be turned;H7725(QalImpf) for thou [art] the LordH3068 my God.H430 [19] Surely afterH310 that I was turned,H7725(QalInf) I repented;H5162(NiphPerf) and afterH310 that I was instructed,H3045(NiphInf) I smoteH5606(QalPerf) upon [my] thigh:H3409 I was ashamed,H954(QalPerf) yea, even confounded,H3637(NiphPerf) because I did bearH5375(QalPerf) the reproachH2781 of my youth.H5271 [20] [Is] EphraimH669 my dearH3357 son?H1121 [is he] a pleasantH8191 child?H3206 for sinceH1767 I spakeH1696(PielInf) against him, I do earnestlyH2142(QalInf) rememberH2142(QalImpf) him still: therefore my bowelsH4578 are troubledH1993(QalPerf) for him; I will surelyH7355(PielInf) have mercyH7355(PielImpf) upon him, saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord.H3068 [21] Set thee upH5324(HiphImpv) waymarks,H6725 makeH7760(QalImpv) thee high heaps:H8564 setH7896(QalImpv) thine heartH3820 toward the highway,H4546 [even] the wayH1870 [which] thou wentest:H1980(QalPerf) turn again,H7725(QalImpv) O virginH1330 of Israel,H3478 turn againH7725(QalImpv) to these thy cities.H5892 [22] How long wilt thou go about,H2559(HithImpf) O thou backslidingH7728 daughter?H1323 for the LordH3068 hath createdH1254(QalPerf) a new thingH2319 in the earth,H776 A womanH5347 shall compassH5437(PoelImpf) a man.H1397 [23] Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the LordH3068 of hosts,H6635 the GodH430 of Israel;H3478 As yet they shall useH559(QalImpf) this speechH1697 in the landH776 of JudahH3063 and in the citiesH5892 thereof, when I shall bring againH7725(QalInf) their captivity;H7622 The LordH3068 blessH1288(PielImpf) thee, O habitationH5116 of justice,H6664 [and] mountainH2022 of holiness.H6944 [24] And there shall dwellH3427(QalPerf) in JudahH3063 itself, and in all the citiesH5892 thereof together,H3162 husbandmen,H406 and they [that] go forthH5265(QalPerf) with flocks.H5739 [25] For I have satiatedH7301(HiphPerf) the wearyH5889 soul,H5315 and I have replenishedH4390(PielPerf) every sorrowfulH1669(QalPerf) soul.H5315 [26] Upon this I awaked,H6974(HiphPerf) and beheld;H7200(QalImpf) and my sleepH8142 was sweetH6149(QalPerf) unto me. [27] Behold, the daysH3117 come,H935(QalActPtc) saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord,H3068 that I will sowH2232(QalPerf) the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 with the seedH2233 of man,H120 and with the seedH2233 of beast.H929 [28] And it shall come to pass, [that] like as I have watched overH8245(QalPerf) them, to pluck up,H5428(QalInf) and to break down,H5422(QalInf) and to throw down,H2040(QalInf) and to destroy,H6(HiphInf) and to afflict;H7489(HiphInf) so will I watch overH8245(QalImpf) them, to build,H1129(QalInf) and to plant,H5193(QalInf) saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord.H3068 [29] In those daysH3117 they shall sayH559(QalImpf) no more, The fathersH1 have eatenH398(QalPerf) a sour grape,H1155 and the children’sH1121 teethH8127 are set on edge.H6949(QalImpf) [30] But every oneH376 shall dieH4191(QalImpf) for his own iniquity:H5771 every manH120 that eatethH398(QalActPtc) the sour grape,H1155 his teethH8127 shall be set on edge.H6949(QalImpf) [31] Behold, the daysH3117 come,H935(QalActPtc) saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord,H3068 that I will makeH3772(QalPerf) a newH2319 covenantH1285 with the houseH1004 of Israel,H3478 and with the houseH1004 of Judah:H3063 [32] Not according to the covenantH1285 that I madeH3772(QalPerf) with their fathersH1 in the dayH3117 [that] I tookH2388(HiphInf) them by the handH3027 to bring them outH3318(HiphInf) of the landH776 of Egypt;H4714 which my covenantH1285 they brake,H6565(HiphPerf) although I was an husbandH1166(QalPerf) unto them, saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord:H3068 [33] But this [shall be] the covenantH1285 that I will makeH3772(QalImpf) with the houseH1004 of Israel;H3478 AfterH310 those days,H3117 saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord,H3068 I will putH5414(QalPerf) my lawH8451 in their inward parts,H7130 and writeH3789(QalImpf) it in their hearts;H3820 and will be their God,H430 and they shall be my people.H5971 [34] And they shall teachH3925(PielImpf) no more every manH376 his neighbour,H7453 and every manH376 his brother,H251 saying,H559(QalInf) KnowH3045(QalImpv) the Lord:H3068 for they shall all knowH3045(QalImpf) me, from the leastH6996 of them unto the greatestH1419 of them, saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord:H3068 for I will forgiveH5545(QalImpf) their iniquity,H5771 and I will rememberH2142(QalImpf) their sinH2403 no more. [35] Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord,H3068 which givethH5414(QalActPtc) the sunH8121 for a lightH216 by day,H3119 [and] the ordinancesH2708 of the moonH3394 and of the starsH3556 for a lightH216 by night,H3915 which dividethH7280(QalActPtc) the seaH3220 when the wavesH1530 thereof roar;H1993(QalImpf) The LordH3068 of hostsH6635 [is] his name:H8034 [36] If those ordinancesH2706 departH4185(QalImpf) from beforeH6440 me, saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord,H3068 [then] the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478 also shall ceaseH7673(QalImpf) from being a nationH1471 beforeH6440 me for ever.H3117 [37] Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord;H3068 If heavenH8064 aboveH4605 can be measured,H4058(NiphImpf) and the foundationsH4146 of the earthH776 searched outH2713(NiphImpf) beneath,H4295 I will also cast offH3988(QalImpf) all the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478 for all that they have done,H6213(QalPerf) saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord.H3068 [38] Behold, the daysH3117 come,H935(QalActPtc) saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord,H3068 that the cityH5892 shall be builtH1129(NiphPerf) to the LordH3068 from the towerH4026 of HananeelH2606 unto the gateH8179 of the corner.H6438 [39] And the measuringH4060 lineH6957(Qere) shall yet go forthH3318(QalPerf) over against it upon the hillH1389 Gareb,H1619 and shall compass aboutH5437(NiphPerf) to Goath.H1601 [40] And the whole valleyH6010 of the dead bodies,H6297 and of the ashes,H1880 and all the fieldsH7709(Qere) unto the brookH5158 of Kidron,H6939 unto the cornerH6438 of the horseH5483 gateH8179 toward the east,H4217 [shall be] holyH6944 unto the Lord;H3068 it shall not be plucked up,H5428(NiphImpf) nor thrown downH2040(NiphImpf) any more for ever.H5769
