Jeremiah 31:10-12

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁰ People of all nations,
    listen to the Lord's message.
Shout it aloud for everyone to hear,
    even those who live on the coasts far away.
Say, ‘The Lord chased Israel's people away,
    but now he will bring them back.
He will take care of them,
    like a shepherd who takes care of his sheep.’
¹¹ Yes, the Lord will rescue Jacob's descendants.
    He will pay the cost to let them be free.
They will no longer be under the power of people who were stronger than them.
¹² His people will come back to Mount Zion,
    and they will shout with joy.
They will be very happy
    because of all the good things that the Lord gives to them.
There will be grain to make bread,
    new wine and olive oil.
There will be lambs and young cows.
They will grow and be strong,
    like a garden that has plenty of water.
They will not be weak or sad any more.
