1 God says, I will be God for all My people. You are My people. 2 Long ago the people ran from bad men. In the wild place, God kept them safe and gave them rest. ️ 3 God came and said, I love you with a love that never ends. I pull you close with kind love. 4 God says, I will build you again. You will dance and play drums. 5 You will plant grape vines on hills. You will eat the fruit. ⛰️ 6 Men on the hills will call, Come, let us go to God’s house in Zion. ️ 7 God says, Sing loud and praise! Say, God, please save Your people. 8 God says, I will bring My people back from far north lands. Blind, weak, moms, and many will come. ♀️♂️ 9 They will cry, but I will lead them by water and a safe road. I am like a dad to My people. ️ 10 All lands, hear this: God will bring His people back and guard them like a shepherd. 11 God will save His people from strong hands. ️✊ 12 They will sing at God’s house. God will give food, drink, oil, and animals. They will be like a wet garden, not sad. 13 Girls will dance. Boys and old ones will be glad. God will turn sad into joy and give comfort. 14 God says, I will fill the priests with good things. My people will be full and happy with My good gifts. 15 A voice cries in Ramah. Rachel cries for her kids. She will not stop, for they are gone. 16 God says, Do not cry, mom. You will get a good gift for your work. Your kids will come back from bad land. ✋➡️ 17 There is hope for you. Your kids will come home. 18 God hears Ephraim say, You taught me. I was wild. Please bring me back. You are my God. 19 Ephraim says, I was wrong. I felt bad and ashamed for my bad ways. ✋ 20 God says, Ephraim is like My dear son. I care for him. I will show mercy. 21 Put up signs on the road. Think of the way. Come back home, Israel. ️ 22 How long will you wander? God will do a new thing on earth: a woman will hold a man. 23 God says, People in Judah will say, God bless this holy hill, when I make you well again. ⛰️✨ 24 People in Judah and all towns will live there. Farmers and shepherds too. ️ 25 God says, I will give rest to the tired and fill the weak. ➡️ 26 I, Jeremiah, woke up. My sleep was nice. ️ 27 God says, Soon I will plant many people and animals in Israel and Judah. 28 I pulled up and broke before. Now I will build and plant. I am watching. 29 In those days people will not say, Dads ate sour grapes and kids’ teeth hurt. 30 Each one pays for own bad. If you eat sour grapes, your teeth hurt. ➡️ 31 God says, Soon I will make a new promise with Israel and Judah. ✨ 32 It is not like the old promise from Egypt. They broke it, though I cared for them. ❌ 33 This is My new promise: I will put My rules in them. I will write on their hearts. I will be their God. They will be My people. ❤️✍️ 34 People will not say, Know God, for all will know Me. I will forgive their bad and not remember it. 35 God, who made sun, moon, stars, and the sea, says this. ☀️⭐ 36 If sun, moon, and stars stop, then My people will stop. They will not stop. ❌➡️❌ 37 If you can count the sky or dig to the earth’s base, then I will throw away My people. You cannot. I will not. ⛏️ 38 God says, The city will be built again for God, from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate. ️ 39 The measuring line will go over Hill Gareb to Goah. ⛰️ 40 All the valley and fields to the brook Kidron and the Horse Gate will be holy to God. It will not be torn down again. ️️
