Jeremiah 21-36: A TranslationI will assuredly remember him still
Therefore my innards moan for him
I will assuredly have mercy on him
-oracle of Yahweh.
n) Return, Virgin Israel! (31:21-22)31 21 Set up road-markers for yourself
make for yourself signposts
Fix your mind on the highway
the way you have gone
Return, virgin Israel
return to these, your cities(^22) How long will you waver
0 turnable daughter?
For Yahweh has created a new thing on earth:
the female protects the man!
- Look, Days Are Coming! (31:23-40)
a) May Yahweh Bless You, 0 Holy Mountain! (31:23-26)
31 23 Thus said Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel:27Again they shall say this word in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I
restore their fortunes:
May Yahweh bless you
righteous pasture
0 holy mountain(^24) And Judah and all its cities shall dwell in it together, the farmers and they
who set out with the flock.^25 For I will saturate the thirsty soul, and every
languishing soul I will fill.
(^26) At this I awoke and looked around, and my sleep was pleasant to me.
b) Planting, Building, and Accountability (31:27-30)
31 27 Look, days are coming-oracle of Yahweh-when I will sow the house
of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of human and the seed of beast.
(^28) And it will be, as I have watched over them to uproot and to break down
and to overthrow and to destroy, also to bring evil, so I will watch over them
to build and to plant-oracle of Yahweh.
(^29) In those days they shall not again say:
Fathers have eaten sour grapes
and children's teeth become set on edge
