Jeremiah 31:21-30 - Repentance And Restoration
21 Erect thee waymarks Set thee up finger-posts, Apply thy heart to The highway - The road by which thou didst depart, - Return O virgin of Israel, Return unto these thy cities. 22 How long wilt thou turn hither and thither, O apostate daughter? For Yahweh hath created a new thing in the earth, A female defendeth, a strong man!
23 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Again, shall they say this word, in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I cause their captivity to return, Yahweh, bless thee, Thou home of righteousness! Thou mountain of holiness! 24 Then shall there dwell throughout Judah itself and all the cities thereof, together, - Husbandmen, who shall move about with a flock; 25 For I have satiated the weary soul, - And every languishing soul, have I filled.
26 Upon this, I awoke and considered, - And, my sleep, had been sweet to me!
27 Lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh - That I will sow, The house of Israel, and The house of Judah, With the seed of men, and With the seed of beasts; 28 And it shall come to pass, that - Just as I watched over them, to root up and to break down and to tear out and to destroy, and to break in pieces, So, will I watch over them, to build and to plant, Declareth Yahweh. 29 In those days, shall they say no more, Fathers, did eat sour grapes, - And, children's teeth, are blunted!
30 But, every one, for his own iniquity, shall die, - Any human being who eateth the sour grapes, his own teeth, shall be blunted.
