Jeremiah 31:8-10

Good News Translation

⁸ I will bring them from the north
    and gather them from the ends of the earth.
The blind and the lame will come with them,
    pregnant women and those about to give birth.
They will come back a great nation.
⁹ My people will return weeping,
    praying as I lead them back.
I will guide them to streams of water,
    on a smooth road where they will not stumble.
I am like a father to Israel,
    and Ephraim is my oldest son.”

“Nations, listen to me
    and proclaim my words on the far-off shores.
I scattered my people, but I will gather them
    and guard them as a shepherd guards his flock.
