Jeremiah 31:22-28 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

22. How long will you be absorbed in delights, O wandering daughter? For the Lord has created something new upon the earth: a woman will encompass a man."

23. Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: "Still they will speak this word in the land of Judah, and in its cities, when I will convert their captivity: 'May the Lord bless you, the beauty of justice, the holy mountain.'

24. And they will live in it: Judah together with all its cities, the farmer and those who drive the flocks.

25. For I have inebriated the weary soul, and I have satisfied every hungry soul.

26. Over this, I was awakened, as if from a deep sleep. And I saw, and my sleep became sweet to me.

27. Behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the offspring of men and with the offspring of cattle.

28. And just as I have watched over them, so that I may root up, and tear down, and scatter, and destroy, and afflict, so will I watch over them, so that I may build and plant them, says the Lord.
