31:11 For the Lord will rescue the descendants of Jacob.
He will secure their release 1 from those who had overpowered them. 2
31:12 They will come and shout for joy on Mount Zion.
They will be radiant with joy 3 over the good things the Lord provides,
the grain, the fresh wine, the olive oil,
the young sheep and calves he has given to them.
They will be like a well-watered garden
and will not grow faint or weary any more.
31:20 Indeed, the people of Israel are my dear children.
They are the children I take delight in. 4
For even though I must often rebuke them,
I still remember them with fondness.
So I am deeply moved with pity for them 5
and will surely have compassion on them.
I, the Lord, affirm it! 6
31:25 I will fully satisfy the needs of those who are weary
and fully refresh the souls of those who are faint. 7
