Jer 31:10-14

10Hear the word of the LORD, you nations,

proclaim it on distant coasts, and say:

The One who scattered Israel, now gathers them;

he guards them as a shepherd his flock.

11The LORD shall ransom Jacob,

he shall redeem him from a hand too strong for him.^h

12Shouting, they shall mount the heights of Zion,

they shall come streaming to the LORD’s blessings:

The grain, the wine, and the oil,

flocks of sheep and cattle;

They themselves shall be like watered gardens,

never again neglected.ⁱ

13Then young women shall make merry and dance,

young men and old as well.

I will turn their mourning into joy,

I will show them compassion and have them rejoice after their sorrows.

14I will lavish choice portions on the priests,

and my people shall be filled with my blessings—

oracle of the LORD.
