1At that time, saith the Lord, I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.

2Thus saith the Lord: The people that were left and escaped from the sword, found grace in the desert: Israel shall go to his rest.

3The Lord hath appeared from afar to me. Yea I have loved thee with an everlasting love, therefore have I drawn thee, taking pity on thee.

4And I will build thee again, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy timbrels, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.

5Thou shalt yet plant vineyards in the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and they shall not gather the vintage before the time.

6For there shall be a day, in which the watchmen on mount Ephraim, shall cry: Arise, and let us go up to Sion to the Lord our God.

7For thus saith the Lord: Rejoice ye in the joy of Jacob, and neigh before the head of the Gentiles: shout ye, and sing, and say: Save, O Lord, thy people, the remnant of Israel.

10Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in the islands that are afar off, and say: He that scattered Israel will gather him: and he will keep him as the shepherd doth his flock.

11For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and delivered him out of the hand of one that was mightier than he.

12And they shall come, and shall give praise in mount Sion: and they shall flow together to the good things of the Lord, for the corn, and wine, and oil, and the increase of cattle and herds, and their soul shall be as a watered garden, and they shall be hungry no more.

13Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, the young men and old men together: and I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them joyful after their sorrow.

16And there came a fear upon them all: and they glorified God saying: A great prophet is risen up among us: and, God hath visited his people.

21And Jesus went from thence, and retired into the coast of Tyre and Sidon.

22And behold a woman of Canaan who came out of those coasts, crying out, said to him: Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David: my daughter is grievously troubled by a devil.

23Who answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying: Send her away, for she crieth after us:

24And he answering, said: I was not sent but to the sheep, that are lost of the house of Israel.

25But she came and adored him, saying: Lord, help me.

26Who answering, said: It is not good to take the bread of the children, and to cast it to the dogs.

27But she said: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat of the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters.

28Then Jesus answering, said to her: O woman, great is thy faith: be it done to thee as thou wilt: and her daughter was cured from that hour.
