030:019 Out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of those who
make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few;
I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.
030:020 Their children also shall be as before, and their congregation
shall be established before me; and I will punish all
who oppress them.
030:021 Their prince shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall proceed
from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near,
and he shall approach to me: for who is he who has had boldness
to approach to me? says Yahweh.
030:022 You shall be my people, and I will be your God.
030:023 Behold, the storm of Yahweh, [even his] wrath, is gone forth,
a sweeping storm: it shall burst on the head of the wicked.
030:024 The fierce anger of Yahweh shall not return, until he has executed,
and until he have performed the intents of his heart:
in the latter days you shall understand it.
031:001 At that time, says Yahweh, will I be the God of all the families
of Israel, and they shall be my people.
031:002 Thus says Yahweh, The people who were left of the sword found
favor in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause
him to rest.
031:003 Yahweh appeared of old to me, [saying], Yes, I have loved you
with an everlasting love: therefore with loving kindness
have I drawn you.
031:004 Again will I build you, and you shall be built, O virgin of Israel:
again shall you be adorned with your tambourines, and shall
go forth in the dances of those who make merry.
031:005 Again shall you plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria;
the planters shall plant, and shall enjoy [the fruit of it].
031:006 For there shall be a day, that the watchmen on the hills
of Ephraim shall cry, Arise you, and let us go up to Zion
to Yahweh our God.
031:007 For thus says Yahweh, Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout
for the chief of the nations: publish you, praise you,
and say, Yahweh, save your people, the remnant of Israel.
031:008 Behold, I will bring them from the north country,
and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth,
[and] with them the blind and the lame, the woman
with child and her who travails with child together:
a great company shall they return here.
031:009 They shall come with weeping; and with petitions will I lead them:
I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way
in which they shall not stumble; for I am a father to Israel,
and Ephraim is my firstborn.
031:010 Hear the word of Yahweh, you nations, and declare it in the islands
afar off; and say, He who scattered Israel will gather him,
and keep him, as shepherd does his flock.
031:011 For Yahweh has ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him from the hand
of him who was stronger than he.
