בִּבְכִ֣י יָבֹ֗אוּ וּֽבְתַחֲנוּנִים֮ אֽוֹבִילֵם֒ אֽוֹלִיכֵם֙ אֶל־נַ֣חֲלֵי מַ֔יִם בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ יָשָׁ֔ר לֹ֥א יִכָּשְׁל֖וּ בָּ֑הּ כִּֽי־הָיִ֤יתִי לְיִשְׂרָאֵל֙ לְאָ֔ב וְאֶפְרַ֖יִם בְּכֹ֥רִי הֽוּא׃ (ס)
Dengan tangisan mereka akan datang, dan dengan permohonan Aku akan menuntun mereka; Aku akan membawa mereka ke sungai-sungai yang berair, melalui jalan yang rata, dan mereka tidak akan tersandung di sana; sebab Aku menjadi bapa bagi Israel, dan Efraim adalah anak sulung-Ku.
Tze'enah Ure'enah
“Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, etc.” [31:9]. God said: hear you nations, the words of God, and say the words widely among the nations. The One who exiled Israel a great distance, the same One will again redeem them. That is to say, the Holy One Himself will gather them to redeem them and He will protect them like a shepherd guards his flock and gathers them all together.
