9 Vendrán llorando. Yo iré delante de ellos y los guiaré junto a corrientes de agua, por un camino recto donde no tropezarán. Soy un padre para Israel, y Efraín es mi primer hijo.

10 Escuchen la palabra del Señor, naciones. Anúncienla en las costas lejanas y digan: «El que dispersó a Israel lo reunirá y lo cuidará como un pastor a su rebaño».

19 Después de volver, me arrepentí de mi conducta. Después de comprender, hice señales de dolor. Sentí vergüenza, quedé cubierto de vergüenza, porque tuve que soportar la vergüenza de mi juventud».
19 Surely after that I was turned. I repented. After that I was instructed. I struck my thigh. I was ashamed, yes, even confounded, because I bore the reproach of my youth.’
20 ¿Es Efraín mi hijo querido, el hijo que me da alegría? Cada vez que hablo contra él, lo sigo recordando. Por eso mi corazón se inquieta por él. Sin duda tendré misericordia de él, dice el Señor.

26 On this I awakened, and saw; and my sleep was sweet to me.
27 Vienen días, dice el Señor, en que sembraré a Israel y Judá con semilla de seres humanos y de animales.
27 “Behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and with the seed of animal.
28 Así como los he vigilado para arrancar, derribar, echar abajo, destruir y causar desgracias, los vigilaré para construir y plantar, dice el Señor.
28 It will happen that, like as I have watched over them to pluck up and to break down and to overthrow and to destroy and to afflict, so I will watch over them to build and to plant,” says Yahweh.
29 En esos días ya no dirán: «Los padres comieron uvas amargas y a los hijos les quedaron sensibles los dientes».
29 “In those days they will say no more, “‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.’
30 Cada uno morirá por el mal que él mismo haya hecho. Al que coma uvas amargas le quedarán sensibles sus propios dientes.
30 But everyone will die for his own iniquity. Every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth will be set on edge.
31 Vienen días, dice el Señor, en que haré un nuevo pacto con el pueblo de Israel y con el pueblo de Judá.
31 “Behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah,
32 Será diferente del pacto que hice con sus antepasados cuando los tomé de la mano para guiarlos fuera de Egipto. Ellos rompieron ese pacto y yo los abandoné, dice el Señor.
32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, which covenant of mine they broke, although I was a husband to them,” says Yahweh.
33 Este es el pacto que haré con el pueblo de Israel después de esos días, dice el Señor: Pondré mi ley en su interior y la escribiré en sus corazones. Yo seré su Dios y ellos serán mi pueblo.
33 “But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” says Yahweh: “I will put my law in their inward parts, and I will write it in their heart. I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 Ya nadie enseñará a su prójimo ni a su hermano diciendo: «Conoce al Señor», porque todos me conocerán, desde el más pequeño hasta el más grande, dice el Señor. Perdonaré su maldad y olvidaré su pecado para siempre.
34 They will no longer each teach his neighbor, and every man teach his brother, saying, ‘Know Yahweh;’ for they will all know me, from their least to their greatest,” says Yahweh, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”
35 Estas son las palabras del Señor, que ha dado el sol para iluminar el día y ha ordenado que la luna y las estrellas iluminen la noche; que agita el mar y hace rugir sus olas. Su nombre es el Señor de los ejércitos.
35 Yahweh, who gives the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirs up the sea, so that its waves roar— Yahweh of Armies is his name, says:
36 Si alguna vez se rompe ante mí el orden de estas cosas, dice el Señor, entonces los descendientes de Israel dejarán de ser una nación ante mí para siempre.
36 “If these ordinances depart from before me,” says Yahweh, “then the offspring of Israel also will cease from being a nation before me forever.”
37 Esto ha dicho el Señor: Si se pueden medir los cielos en lo alto y explorar los cimientos de la tierra, entonces abandonaré a los descendientes de Israel por todo lo que han hecho, dice el Señor.
37 Yahweh says: “If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, then I will also cast off all the offspring of Israel for all that they have done,” says Yahweh.
38 Vienen días, dice el Señor, en que se construirá la ciudad del Señor, desde la torre de Hananel hasta la puerta del Ángulo.
38 “Behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that the city will be built to Yahweh from the tower of Hananel to the gate of the corner.
39 La cuerda de medir se extenderá desde allí hasta la colina de Gareb y rodeará Goa.
39 The measuring line will go out further straight onward to the hill Gareb, and will turn toward Goah.
40 Todo el valle de los cadáveres y todo el campo de muerte hasta el arroyo Cedrón, hasta la esquina de la puerta de los Caballos al este, serán santos para el Señor. Nunca más serán arrancados ni derribados.
40 The whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields to the brook Kidron, to the corner of the horse gate toward the east, will be holy to Yahweh. It will not be plucked up or thrown down any more forever.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
As also Jeremiah declares, "The Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and has snatched him from the hand of him that was stronger than he." If, then, he had not pointed out Him who binds and spoils his goods, but had merely spoken of him as being strong, the strong man should have been unconquered.
For Jeremiah himself says, "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will complete over the house of Jacob a new testament," and the rest, which may be read there. For the present I shall put down those predictions about Christ by the prophet Zephaniah, who prophesied with Jeremiah.
