Jeremiah 31:17

Israel And Judah Will Be Delivered From Their Distress

¹⁶ Thus says the Lord,

“Restrain your voice from weeping
And your eyes from tears,
For your work will be rewarded,” says the Lord;
“And your children will return from the enemy’s land.
¹⁷ 
“There is [confident] hope for your future,” says the Lord;
“Your children will come back to their own country.
¹⁸
“I have surely heard Ephraim (Israel) moaning and grieving,
‘You have chastised me, and I was chastised,
Like a bull unaccustomed to the yoke or an untrained calf;
Bring me back that I may be restored,
For You are the Lord my God.
