31:7 Moreover, 1 the Lord says,
“Sing for joy for the descendants of Jacob.
Utter glad shouts for that foremost of the nations. 2
Make your praises heard. 3
Then say, ‘Lord, rescue your people.
Deliver those of Israel who remain alive.’ 4
31:12 They will come and shout for joy on Mount Zion.
They will be radiant with joy 5 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.
31:13 The Lord says, 6 “At that time young women will dance and be glad.
Young men and old men will rejoice. 7
I will turn their grief into gladness.
I will give them comfort and joy in place of their sorrow.
31:14 I will provide the priests with abundant provisions. 8
My people will be filled to the full with the good things I provide.”
