Hear, O nations, the word of the LORD,
and proclaim it in distant coastlands:
“The One who scattered Israel will gather them and keep them
as a shepherd keeps his flock.

For the LORD has ransomed Jacob
and redeemed him from the hand that had overpowered him.
They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion;
they will be radiant over the bounty of the LORD—
the grain, new wine, and oil,
and the young of the flocks and herds.

Their life will be like a well-watered garden,
and never again will they languish.
Then the maidens will rejoice with dancing,
young men and old as well.
I will turn their mourning into joy,
and give them comfort and joy for their sorrow.

I will fill the souls of the priests abundantly,
and will fill My people with My goodness,” declares the LORD.

~ Jeremiah 31: 10-14
