Jeremiah 31:17

1819–1905
Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"And there is hope for thy latter end, saith Jehovah; and [thy] children shall come again to their own border." — Jeremiah 31:17 (ASV)

And there is hope in thine end ... —Better, There is hope for your future. The words are the same as in Jeremiah 29:11, where the English version has an expected end. The hope here is defined as that of the return of Rachel’s children to their own border—the return, that is, of the Ten Tribes from their captivity.
