“My people have turned their backs on Me and have refused to return. Even though I diligently taught them, they would not receive instruction or obey. Now I want to say something more about this city. You have been saying, ‘It will fall to the king of Babylon through war, famine, and disease.’ But this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I will certainly bring My people back again from all the countries where I will scatter them in my fury. I will bring them back to this very city and let them live in peace and...

“Tears of joy will stream down their faces, and I will lead them home with great care. They will walk beside quiet streams and on smooth paths where they will not stumble. For I am Israel’s father, and Ephraim is my oldest child. For the Lord has redeemed Israel from those too strong for them. They will come home and sing songs of joy on the heights of Jerusalem.
