Jeremiah 31
Ready to read
1
“At that time,” Yahweh declares, “I will be the true God of every family of Israel,[1] and they will be my very own people.”
2
Yahweh says:
3
Yahweh appeared to me from another realm[2] and said,
4
You are precious to me,[4] and I will build[5] you up again.
5
Once more you will plant vineyards
6
Yes, there will be a day when the watchmen cry out
7
For Yahweh says:
8
Watch, as I bring them back
9
They will return praying with tears[11]
10
“Listen, nations, to the word of Yahweh.
11
For Yahweh has ransomed the people of Israel[13]
12
They will come, singing for joy on the heights of Zion,
13
The young girls, the young men, and the elderly
14
Yahweh says,
15
Yahweh says,
16
Yahweh says,
17
There is a door of hope for your future after all,[19]
18
“I have heard it! The people of Israel moaning,
19
Although we turned away, we have repented.
20
Yahweh replies,
21
“Set up your signposts and road markers
22
Faithless one,
23
Yahweh, the God of Israel, Commander of Angel Armies, says, “This blessing will once again be heard throughout Judah and its towns when I bring their captives home:
24
“People throughout Judah and her towns will live together in peace, both the farmers and shepherds with their flocks.
25
For I will refresh the weary soul and satisfy all those who have given up on life.”
26
At this, I awoke and realized
27
“Look, the days are coming,” Yahweh declares, “when I will repopulate the land of Israel and Judah with both people and livestock.[28]
28
I have watched over them to uproot, to knock down, to overthrow, destroy, and bring calamity, so now, I will carefully watch over them as they start over again and rebuild. And I will help them grow,” declares Yahweh.
29
“In those days, people will no longer quote the proverb:
30
“Rather, everyone who eats sour grapes will have a stomachache. Each one will be responsible for their own sins.”[30]
31
Yahweh declares: “Look, the days are coming when I will enter into a brand-new covenant[31] with the people of Israel and Judah.
32
It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt. They broke that covenant even though I was their husband,” declares Yahweh.
33
“No, this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel when the time has come,” declares Yahweh. “I will embed my law into the core of their being and write it on their hearts and minds.[32] Then I will truly be their God, and they will truly be my people.
34
None of them will have to teach their friends or family, saying, ‘Come and know Yahweh intimately!’ No, from the least to the greatest, they will all know me intimately,” Yahweh declares, “for I will remove their guilt and wipe their sin from my memory.”[33]
35
“I am Yahweh All-Powerful.
36
Just as this established order will not pass away,
37
It is impossible for you to measure the heavens above
38
“Look, the days are coming when the people will rebuild Jerusalem[35] for me,” declares Yahweh. “They will rebuild it from the northeast Tower of Hananel to the northwest Corner Gate.[36]
39
And the measuring line will stretch out farther to the Gareb Hill, turning then to Goah.[37]
40
And the entire Hinnom Valley, with its bones and ashes, and all the fields as far as the brook Kidron, to the corner of the Horse Gate[38] eastward, will be consecrated and sacred to Yahweh.[39] Jerusalem will never be overthrown or destroyed again.”
