Jeremiah 31:22-24
EasyEnglish Bible
22 You went away from me,
like a daughter who refuses to obey her father.
Do not continue to turn away from me.
I, the Lord, promise to do a new thing.
Women will take care of men!’
The people of Judah will be strong again
23 The Lord Almighty, Israel's God, says this:
‘I will bring my people back from the land where they have been prisoners. Then the people in the towns of Judah will again say, “We pray that the Lord will bless you, Jerusalem. You are the special place where he lives on his holy mountain!”[a]
24 People will live together in the towns of Judah. Farmers and shepherds will work in the fields.

unfaithful(B) Daughter Israel?
The Lord will create a new thing(C) on earth—
the woman will return to[a](D) the man.”
