00:00.000 --> 00:00.960
Chapter 31.

00:02.240 --> 00:06.020
At the same time, saith the Lord,
will I be the God of all the families of

00:06.020 --> 00:08.060
Israel, and they shall be my people.

00:08.800 --> 00:13.140
Thus saith the Lord, The people which were
left of the sword found grace in the

00:13.140 --> 00:15.940
wilderness, even Israel when I went to
cause him to rest.

00:16.640 --> 00:20.720
The Lord hath appeared of old unto me,
saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an

00:20.720 --> 00:21.560
everlasting love.

00:21.960 --> 00:25.140
Therefore, with lovingkindness have I
drawn thee.

00:25.820 --> 00:29.840
Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be
built, O virgin of Israel.

00:30.500 --> 00:34.480
Thou shalt again be adorned with thy
tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances

00:34.480 --> 00:35.540
of them that make merry.

00:36.500 --> 00:39.240
Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the
mountains of Samaria.

00:39.980 --> 00:43.080
The planters shall plant, and shall eat
them as common things.

00:43.860 --> 00:48.080
For there shall be a day, that the
watchman upon the mount Ephraim shall cry,

00:48.580 --> 00:52.020
Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion and to
the Lord our God.

00:52.540 --> 00:56.760
For thus saith the Lord, Sing with
gladness for Jacob, and shout among the

00:56.760 --> 01:01.340
chief of the nations, Publish ye,
praise ye, and say, O Lord, save thy

01:01.340 --> 01:03.100
people, the remnant of Israel.

01:04.000 --> 01:07.700
Behold, I will bring them from the north
country, and gather them from the coasts

01:07.700 --> 01:11.760
of the earth, and with them the blind and
the lame, the woman with child,

01:11.860 --> 01:13.760
and her that travaileth with child,
together.

01:14.480 --> 01:16.200
A great company shall return thither.

01:17.160 --> 01:20.080
They shall come with weeping, and with
supplications will I lead them.

01:20.680 --> 01:24.780
I will cause them to walk by the rivers of
waters in a straight way, wherein they

01:24.780 --> 01:25.520
shall not stumble.

01:26.420 --> 01:29.900
For I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim
is my firstborn.

01:31.000 --> 01:34.980
Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations,
and declare it in the isles afar off,

01:35.040 --> 01:39.220
and say, He that scattered Israel will
gather him, and keep him as a shepherd

01:39.220 --> 01:39.940
doth his flock.

01:40.580 --> 01:44.000
For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob,
and ransomed him from the hand of him that

01:44.000 --> 01:44.920
was stronger than he.

01:45.860 --> 01:49.720
Therefore they shall come and sing in the
height of Zion, and shall flow together to

01:49.720 --> 01:53.500
the goodness of the Lord, for wheat,
and for wine, and for oil, and for the

01:53.500 --> 01:55.180
young of the flock, and of the herd.

01:55.740 --> 02:00.220
And their soul shall be as a watered
garden, and they shall not sorrow any more

02:00.220 --> 02:00.780
at all.

02:01.760 --> 02:05.420
Then shall the virgin rejoice in the
dance, both young men and old together.

02:06.040 --> 02:09.760
For I will turn their mourning into joy,
and will comfort them, and make them

02:09.760 --> 02:11.060
rejoice from their sorrow.

02:11.440 --> 02:15.620
And I will satiate the soul of the priests
with fatness, and my people shall be

02:15.620 --> 02:17.700
satisfied with my goodness, saith the
Lord.

02:18.500 --> 02:19.640
Thus saith the Lord.

02:20.200 --> 02:23.820
A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation
and bitter weeping.

02:24.020 --> 02:27.340
Rahel, weeping for her children,
refused to be comforted for her children,

02:27.720 --> 02:28.460
because they were not.

02:29.440 --> 02:30.360
Thus saith the Lord.

02:30.940 --> 02:34.040
Refrain thy voice from weeping,
and thine eyes from tears.

02:34.660 --> 02:36.760
For thy work shall be rewarded,
saith the Lord.

02:37.220 --> 02:39.260
And they shall come again from the land of
the enemy.

02:39.800 --> 02:42.860
And there is hope in thine end,
saith the Lord, that thy children shall

02:42.860 --> 02:44.260
come again to their own border.

02:45.540 --> 02:48.880
I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning
himself thus.

02:49.780 --> 02:54.580
Thou hast chastised me, and I was
chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to

02:54.580 --> 02:55.000
the yoke.

02:55.740 --> 03:00.060
Turn thou me, and I shall be turned,
for thou art the Lord my God.

03:00.900 --> 03:04.860
Surely after that I was turned,
I repented, and after that I was

03:04.860 --> 03:07.340
instructed, I smote upon my thigh.

03:07.880 --> 03:12.620
I was ashamed, yea, even confounded,
because I did bear the reproach of my

03:12.620 --> 03:12.960
youth.

03:13.660 --> 03:15.180
Is Ephraim my dear son?

03:15.980 --> 03:17.140
Is he a pleasant child?

03:17.740 --> 03:21.000
For since I spake against him,
I do earnestly remember him still.

03:21.800 --> 03:23.660
Therefore my bowels are troubled for him.

03:24.140 --> 03:26.660
I will surely have mercy upon him,
saith the Lord.

03:28.020 --> 03:32.980
Set thee up waymarks, make thee high
heaps, set thine heart toward the highway,

03:33.480 --> 03:34.940
even the way which thou wentest.

03:35.660 --> 03:39.600
Turn again, O Virgin of Israel,
turn again to these thy cities.

03:41.020 --> 03:44.500
How long wilt thou go about, O thou
backsliding daughter?

03:45.040 --> 03:47.460
For the Lord hath created a new thing in
the earth.

03:47.820 --> 03:52.060
A woman shall compass a man, thus saith
the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel.

03:52.940 --> 03:56.500
As yet they shall use this speech in the
land of Judah and in the cities thereof,

03:56.760 --> 03:58.500
when I shall bring again their captivity.

03:59.580 --> 04:03.560
The Lord bless thee, O habitation of
justice and mountain of holiness.

04:04.620 --> 04:08.140
And there shall dwell in Judah itself,
and in all the cities thereof together,

04:08.820 --> 04:11.540
husbandmen, and they that go forth with
flocks.

04:12.500 --> 04:17.100
For I have satiated the weary soul,
and I have replenished every sorrowful

04:17.100 --> 04:17.560
soul.

04:18.320 --> 04:22.380
Upon this I awaked and beheld,
and my sleep was sweet unto me.

04:23.560 --> 04:28.100
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord,
that I will sow the house of Israel and

04:28.100 --> 04:31.340
the house of Judah with the seed of man
and with the seed of beast.

04:31.720 --> 04:36.180
And it shall come to pass that like as I
have watched over them to pluck up and to

04:36.180 --> 04:40.600
break down and to throw down and to
destroy and to afflict, so will I watch

04:40.600 --> 04:43.100
over them to build and to plant,
saith the Lord.

04:43.800 --> 04:45.560
In those days they shall say no more.

04:46.120 --> 04:50.060
The fathers have eaten the sour grape,
and the children's teeth are set on edge.

04:50.680 --> 04:52.760
But every one shall die for his own
iniquity.

04:53.200 --> 04:56.600
Every man that eateth the sour grape,
his teeth shall be set on edge.

04:57.480 --> 05:01.200
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord,
that I will make a new covenant with the

05:01.200 --> 05:03.320
house of Israel and with the house of
Judah.

05:04.040 --> 05:07.320
Not according to the covenant that I made
with their fathers in the day that I took

05:07.320 --> 05:11.560
them by the hand to bring them out of the
land of Egypt, which my covenant they

05:11.560 --> 05:14.900
break, although I was an husband unto
them, saith the Lord.

05:15.620 --> 05:18.340
But this shall be the covenant that I will
make with the house of Israel.

05:18.980 --> 05:22.560
After those days, saith the Lord,
I will put my law in their inward parts,

05:22.820 --> 05:26.660
and write it in their hearts, and will be
their God, and they shall be my people.

05:27.080 --> 05:30.460
And they shall teach no more every man his
neighbour, and every man his brother,

05:30.560 --> 05:34.940
saying, Know the Lord, for they shall all
know me from the least of them unto the

05:34.940 --> 05:36.600
greatest of them, saith the Lord.

05:37.160 --> 05:40.660
For I will forgive their iniquity,
and I will remember their sin no more.

05:41.340 --> 05:45.480
Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun
for a light by day, and the ordinances of

05:45.480 --> 05:49.520
the moon and of the stars for a light by
night, which divider the sea when the

05:49.520 --> 05:50.540
waves thereof roar.

05:51.200 --> 05:52.740
The Lord of hosts is his name.

05:53.460 --> 05:58.000
If those ordinances depart from before me,
saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel

05:58.000 --> 06:01.140
also shall cease from being a nation
before me for ever.

06:01.720 --> 06:06.080
Thus saith the Lord, if heaven above can
be measured, and the foundations of the

06:06.080 --> 06:10.600
earth searched out beneath, I will also
cast off all the seed of Israel for all

06:10.600 --> 06:12.300
that they have done, saith the Lord.

06:12.960 --> 06:16.960
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord,
that the city shall be built to the Lord

06:16.960 --> 06:19.600
from the tower of Hananiel, and to the
gate of the corner.

06:20.440 --> 06:24.680
And the measuring line shall yet go forth
over against it, upon the hill Gerib,

06:25.140 --> 06:28.860
and shall compass about to Goeth,
and the whole valley of the dead bodies,

06:28.860 --> 06:33.660
and of the ashes, and all the fields unto
the brook of Kidron, and to the corner of

06:33.660 --> 06:37.200
the horse gate toward the east,
shall be holy unto the Lord.

06:37.920 --> 06:41.080
It shall not be plucked up nor thrown down
any more for ever.
