Jeremiah 31:11-13

Easy-to-Read Version

¹¹ The Lord will bring Jacob back.
    He will save his people from those who are stronger.
¹² The people of Israel will come to the top of Zion,
    and they will shout with joy.
Their faces will shine with happiness about the good things the Lord gives them.
    He will give them grain, new wine, olive oil, young sheep and cattle.
They will be like a garden that has plenty of water.
    And the people of Israel will not be troubled anymore.
¹³ Then the young women of Israel will be happy and dance.
    And the men, young and old, will join in the dancing.
I will change their sadness into happiness.
    I will comfort my people, making them happy instead of sad.
