Isaiah 49:19-20
19 “Surely your waste and your desolate placesand your devastated land—
asurely now you will be too narrow for your inhabitants,
and those who swallowed you up will be far away.
20 bThe children of your bereavement
will yet say in your ears:
c‘The place is too narrow for me;
make room for me to dwell in.’
Jeremiah 31:31-36
The New Covenant
31 d“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make ea new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when fI took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, gthough I was their husband, declares the Lord. 33 hFor this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: iI will put my law within them, and I will write it jon their hearts. kAnd I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ lfor they shall all know me, mfrom the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For nI will forgive their iniquity, and oI will remember their sin no more.”35 Thus says the Lord,
who pgives the sun for light by day
and qthe fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night,
who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—
rthe Lord of hosts is his name:
36 s“If this fixed order departs
from before me, declares the Lord,
then shall the offspring of Israel cease
from being a nation before me forever.”
Jeremiah 31:38-39
38 t“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when the city shall be rebuilt for the Lord ufrom the Tower of Hananel to vthe Corner Gate. 39 wAnd the measuring line shall go out farther, straight to the hill Gareb, and shall then turn to Goah.
