I WILL CAUSE THEM TO WALK BY THE RIVERS OF WATER

For thus saith the LORD; Sing with 

gladness for Jacob, and shout among 

the chief of the nations: publish ye, 

praise ye, and say, O LORD, save 

thy people, the remnant of Israel.

Behold, I will bring them from the 

north country, and gather them from 

the coasts of the earth, and with them 

the blind and the lame, the woman 

with child and her that travaileth with 

child together: a great company shall 

return thither. They shall come with 

weeping, and with supplications will I 

lead them: I will cause them to walk by 

the rivers of waters in a straight way, 

wherein they shall not stumble: for 

I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim 

is my firstborn.  Hear the word of 

the LORD, O ye nations, and declare 

it in the isles afar off, and say, He 

that scattered Israel will gather him, 

and keep him, as a shepherd doth 

his flock.  For the LORD hath 

redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him 

from the hand of him that was 

stronger than he.  Therefore they shall 

come and sing in the height of Zion, 

and shall flow together to the goodness 

of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, 

and for oil, and for the young of the 

flock and of the herd: and their soul shall 

be as a watered garden; and they shall not 

sorrow any more at all.

Jeremiah 31:7-12
