Jeremiah 31:18-20
New King James Version
18 “I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself:
‘You have (A)chastised me, and I was chastised,
Like an untrained bull;
(B)Restore me, and I will return,
For You are the Lord my God.
19 Surely, (C)after my turning, I repented;
And after I was instructed, I struck myself on the thigh;
I was (D)ashamed, yes, even humiliated,
Because I bore the reproach of my youth.’
20 Is Ephraim My dear son?
Is he a pleasant child?
For though I spoke against him,
I earnestly remember him still;
(E)Therefore My [a]heart yearns for him;
(F)I will surely have mercy on him, says the Lord.

10 For (A)godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; (B)but the sorrow of the world produces death. 11 For observe this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it produced in you, what (C)clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication! In all things you proved yourselves to be (D)clear in this matter.
