Jeremiah 31:19-21

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁹ After I returned, I repented;
After I was instructed, I struck my thigh in grief.^(A)
I was ashamed and humiliated
because I bore the disgrace of my youth.”
²⁰ Isn’t Ephraim a precious son to Me,
a delightful child?
Whenever I speak against him,
I certainly still think about him.
Therefore, My inner being yearns for him;
I will truly have compassion on him.
This is the Lord’s declaration.

²¹ Set up road markers^(B) for yourself;
establish signposts!
Keep the highway in mind,
the way you have traveled.
Return, Virgin Israel!
Return to these cities of yours.
