6 There|strong="H3426" will|strong="H3068" be|strong="H3068" a|strong="H3588" time|strong="H3117" when|strong="H3588" watchmen|strong="H5341" shout this|strong="H3588" message|strong="H3068":
7 This|strong="H3541" is|strong="H3068" what|strong="H3541" the|strong="H0853" LORD|strong="H3068" says|strong="H0559":
8 Remember, I|strong="H2005" will|strong="H0776" bring|strong="H0935" Israel

11 The|strong="H0853" LORD|strong="H3068" will|strong="H3068" bring Jacob|strong="H3290" back|strong="H1350".
12 The|strong="H5921" people|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Israel will|strong="H3068" come|strong="H0935" to|strong="H0413" the|strong="H5921" top|strong="H5921" of|strong="H1121" Zion|strong="H6726",

15 This|strong="H3541" is|strong="H0369" what|strong="H6963" the|strong="H0559" LORD|strong="H3068" says|strong="H0559":
16 But|strong="H3588" the|strong="H0559" LORD|strong="H3068" says|strong="H0559", “Stop crying|strong="H1065".
17 Israel, there|strong="H3426" is|strong="H3068" hope|strong="H8615" for|strong="H3068" you|strong="H7725".”
18 I|strong="H3588" have|strong="H0859" heard|strong="H8085" Ephraim|strong="H0669" crying:
19 I|strong="H3588" wandered away|strong="H7725" from|strong="H7725" you|strong="H3588".
20 The|strong="H5002" LORD|strong="H3068" says|strong="H5002",
21 “People|strong="H3820" of|strong="H1870" Israel|strong="H3478", repair the|strong="H0413" road|strong="H1870" signs.

25 I|strong="H3588" will|strong="H5315" give rest and|strong="H5315" strength|strong="H5315" to|strong="H5315" those|strong="H3605" who|strong="H3605" are|strong="H5315" weak|strong="H3605" and|strong="H5315" tired|strong="H5889".”
26 After|strong="H5921" hearing that|strong="H7200", I|strong="H7200", Jeremiah, woke up|strong="H7200" and|strong="H7200" looked|strong="H7200" around|strong="H5921". My|strong="H5921" sleep|strong="H8142" was|strong="H8142" very pleasant|strong="H6149".
27 “The|strong="H0853" days|strong="H3117" are|strong="H3117" coming|strong="H0935",” says|strong="H5002" the|strong="H0853" LORD|strong="H3068", “when|strong="H3117" I|strong="H3117" will|strong="H3068" help the|strong="H0853" family|strong="H1004" of|strong="H1004" Israel|strong="H3478" and|strong="H0935" Judah|strong="H3063" to|strong="H0935" grow.
