31:9 They will come back shedding tears of contrition.
I will bring them back praying prayers of repentance. 1
I will lead them besides streams of water,
along smooth paths where they will never stumble. 2
I will do this because I am Israel’s father;
Ephraim 3 is my firstborn son.’”
2:3 God blessed the seventh day and made it holy 1 because on it he ceased all the work that he 2 had been doing in creation. 3
