Jeremiah 31:9

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:

Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth?

Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spake against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the LORD.

In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their God.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble?

But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.

But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me.

Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.

And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?

And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;

Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting.

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
