Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good,
and delight yourselves in rich food.

and I will bring you to Zion.

14 (A)Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God,

and return to the Lord;
say to him,
“Take away all iniquity;
accept (C)what is good,
and we will pay with bulls
(D)the vows[a] of our lips.
3 (E)Assyria shall not save us;
(F)we will not ride on horses;
and (G)we will say no more, ‘Our God,’
to the work of our hands.
(H)In you the orphan finds mercy.”

Jeremiah 31:18-20
English Standard Version
18 I have heard (A)Ephraim grieving,
‘You have disciplined me, and I was disciplined,
like an untrained calf;
(B)bring me back that I may be restored,
for you are the Lord my God.
19 For after (C)I had turned away, I relented,
and after I was instructed, (D)I struck my thigh;
(E)I was ashamed, and I was confounded,
because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’
20 (F)Is Ephraim my dear son?
(G)Is he my darling child?
For as often as I speak against him,
I do remember him still.
(H)Therefore my heart[a] yearns for him;
I will surely have mercy on him,
declares the Lord.
