Jeremiah 31:12

Translations

Modern

They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion; they will be radiant over the bounty of the LORD—the grain, new wine, and oil, and the young of the flocks and herds. Their life will be like a well-watered garden, and never again will they languish.

Traditional

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.

Literal

And they will come and sing on the height of Zion, and they will beam to the goodness of YHWH, over wheat, and over new wine, and over oil, and over the young of the flock and herd; and their souls will be well-watered like a garden, and they will add to languish no more.

Latin

Et venient, et laudabunt in monte Sion: et confluent ad bona Domini, super frumento, et vino, et oleo, et fœtu pecorum et armentorum: eritque anima eorum quasi hortus irriguus, et ultra non esurient.

Notes

Jeremiah 31:12

The restored community would enjoy the Lord’s gifts. The people could expect abundant crops to grow without asking Baal for help. They would leave behind the sorrows of exile. Those returning could expect to be fruitful, like a well-watered garden.

Jeremiah 30:1–33:26

People often call these four chapters "The Book of Consolation," a highlight in Old Testament revelation. Unlike the many judgment messages Jeremiah gave his people, these messages are full of hope and promise a wonderful future restoration.
