Jeremiah 31:17

31:17 Indeed, there is hope for your posterity.

Your children will return to their own territory.

I, the Lord, affirm it!


tn For this nuance for the Hebrew word אַחֲרִית (’akharit) see BDB 31 s.v. אַחֲרִית d and compare usage in Pss 37:38; 109:13. Others translate “your future” but the “future” lies with the return of her descendants, her posterity.
