20 Erect road markers, set up signposts! Set your heart toward the highway, the way by which you traveled! Return, O virgin Israel, return to your cities.
21 How long will you waver, O backsliding daughter? For Adonai has created a new thing on earth: a woman surrounds a man.
22 Thus says Adonai-Tzva’ot, the God of Israel: “Yet again will they use this expression in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I will return them from exile: ‘Adonai bless you, O dwelling of righteousness, O mountain of holiness.’
23 Judah and all its cities will dwell there together—the farmer and those who go about with flocks.
24 For I will satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul will refresh.”
25 At this point I awoke, and looked around, and my sleep was sweet to me.
26 “Behold, days are coming”—it is a declaration of Adonai—“when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and with the seed of beast.
