For thus says Yahweh,

“Sing for joy for Jacob with gladness,
    and shout out for the head of the nations.
Proclaim, praise, and say,
    ‘Save, O Yahweh, your people, the remnant of Israel.’
Look, I am going to bring them from the land of the north,
    and I will gather them from the remotest part of the earth.
Among them the blind, and the lame,
    those who are pregnant, and those who give birth,
together, a great assembly,
    they will return here.
With weeping they will come,
    and with pleas for mercy I will bring them;
I will let them walk by streams of water in a straight path.
    They will not stumble in it,
for I have become to Israel a father,
    and Ephraim, he is my firstborn.”

This is what the Lord says:

“Sing(A) with joy for Jacob;
    shout for the foremost(B) of the nations.
Make your praises heard, and say,
    Lord, save(C) your people,
    the remnant(D) of Israel.’
See, I will bring them from the land of the north(E)
    and gather(F) them from the ends of the earth.
Among them will be the blind(G) and the lame,(H)
    expectant mothers and women in labor;
    a great throng will return.
They will come with weeping;(I)
    they will pray as I bring them back.
I will lead(J) them beside streams of water(K)
    on a level(L) path where they will not stumble,
because I am Israel’s father,(M)
    and Ephraim is my firstborn son.
