Bible verse for August 31

¹² Look, these will come from far away, and look, these from the north and from the west, and these from the land of Sinim. ¹³ Shout for joy, you heavens; rejoice, you earth; break into song, you mountains! For Yahweh has comforted his people and will have compassion on his afflicted ones. ¹⁴ But Zion said, “Yahweh has forsaken me; the Lord has forgotten me.” ¹⁵ Can a woman forget her nursing child, or have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, but I will not forget you. ¹⁶ See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are always before me. ¹⁷ Your children hurry back; those who tore you down and laid you waste go away from you. ¹⁸ Lift up your eyes and look around: they all gather and come to you. As surely as I live, declares Yahweh, you will put them all on like jewelry; you will bind them on like a bride. ¹⁹ For your ruins and your desolate places and your devastated land—now you will be too small for your people, and those who swallowed you up will be far away.
