Jeremiah 31:9 in Context — Jeremiah 31

7 Porque así ha dicho Jehová: Regocijaos en Jacob con alegría, y dad voces de júbilo á la cabeza de gentes; haced oir, alabad, y decid: Oh Jehová, salva tu pueblo, el resto de Israel.

8 He aquí yo los vuelvo de tierra del aquilón, y los juntaré de los fines de la tierra, y entre ellos ciegos y cojos, la mujer preñada y la parida juntamente; en grande compañía tornarán acá.

9 Irán con lloro, mas con misericordias los haré volver, y harélos andar junto á arroyos de aguas, por camino derecho en el cual no tropezarán: porque soy á Israel por padre, y Ephraim es mi primogénito.

10 Oid palabra de Jehová, oh gentes, y hacedlo saber en las islas que están lejos, y decid: El que esparció á Israel lo juntará y guardará, como pastor á su ganado.

11 Porque Jehová redimió á Jacob, redimiólo de mano del más fuerte que él.
