May Month Promise - Jeremiah 31:10-14

Hear the word of the Lord, you nations;

    proclaim it in distant coastlands:

‘He who scattered Israel will gather them

    and will watch over his flock like a shepherd.’

For the Lord will deliver Jacob

    and redeem them from the hand of those stronger than they.

They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion;

    they will rejoice in the bounty of the Lord—

the grain, the new wine and the olive oil,

    the young of the flocks and herds.

They will be like a well-watered garden,

    and they will sorrow no more.

Then young women will dance and be glad,

    young men and old as well.

I will turn their mourning into gladness;

    I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.

I will satisfy the priests with abundance,

    and my people will be filled with my bounty,”

declares the Lord.
