Jeremiah 31:23

Read in context

Jeremiah 31:21–25 · Berean Standard Bible

21 “Set up the roadmarks, establish the signposts. Keep the highway in mind, the road you have traveled. Return, O Virgin Israel, return to these cities of yours.

22 How long will you wander, O faithless daughter? For the LORD has created a new thing in the land— a woman will shelter a man.”

23 This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “When I restore them from captivity, they will once again speak this word in the land of Judah and in its cities: ‘May the LORD bless you, O righteous dwelling place, O holy mountain.’

24 And Judah and all its cities will dwell together in the land, the farmers and those who move with the flocks,

25 for I will refresh the weary soul and replenish all who are weak.”
