Jeremiah 31:23-26

Everlasting Love, Restored Joy, and the New Covenant

The chapter moves from covenant restoration of all Israel, to joyful return, to Rachel's comfort and Ephraim's repentance, to Judah's restoration, to the New Covenant promise, and finally to the permanence of Israel and rebuilt Jerusalem.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

23This 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.’

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

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

26At this I awoke and looked around. My sleep had been most pleasant to me.
