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.’

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.
