Jeremiah 31:7-9

English Standard Version

⁷ For thus says the Lord:
^(A)“Sing aloud with gladness for Jacob,
    and raise shouts for ^(B)the chief of the nations;
proclaim, give praise, and say,
    ^(C)‘O Lord, save your people,
    the remnant of Israel.’
⁸ Behold, I will bring them ^(D)from the north country
    and ^(E)gather them from ^(F)the farthest parts of the earth,
among them ^(G)the blind and the lame,
    the pregnant woman and she who is in labor, together;
    a great company, they shall return here.
^9 (H)With weeping they shall come,
    ^(I)and with pleas for mercy I will lead them back,
I will make them ^(J)walk by brooks of water,
    ^(K)in a straight path in which they shall not stumble,
for ^(L)I am a father to Israel,
    and Ephraim is ^(M)my firstborn.
