בִּבְכִ֣י יָבֹ֗אוּ וּֽבְתַחֲנוּנִים֮ אֽוֹבִילֵם֒ אֽוֹלִיכֵם֙ אֶל־נַ֣חֲלֵי מַ֔יִם בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ יָשָׁ֔ר לֹ֥א יִכָּשְׁל֖וּ בָּ֑הּ כִּֽי־הָיִ֤יתִי לְיִשְׂרָאֵל֙ לְאָ֔ב וְאֶפְרַ֖יִם בְּכֹ֥רִי הֽוּא׃ (ס)
Darating sila nang may pagtangis, at sa pamamagitan ng mga pagsusumamo ay aakayin Ko sila; papatnubayan Ko sila sa tabi ng mga batis ng tubig, sa daang tuwid na hindi sila matitisod; sapagkat Ako ay naging Ama sa Israel, at si Efraim ang Aking panganay.

With weeping will they come Through prayer and repentance.
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.
