A Plea to Return to the Lord
14 (A)Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God,
for (B)you have stumbled because of your iniquity.
2 Take with you words
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 31:4-10
English Standard Version
4 (A)Again I will build you, and you shall be built,
O virgin Israel!
(B)Again you shall adorn yourself with tambourines
and shall go forth in (C)the dance of the merrymakers.
5 (D)Again you shall plant vineyards
on the mountains of Samaria;
the planters shall plant
and shall enjoy the fruit.
6 For there shall be a day when watchmen will call
in (E)the hill country of Ephraim:
(F)‘Arise, and let us go up to Zion,
to the Lord our God.’”
7 For thus says the Lord:
(G)“Sing aloud with gladness for Jacob,
and raise shouts for (H)the chief of the nations;
proclaim, give praise, and say,
(I)‘O Lord, save your people,
the remnant of Israel.’
8 Behold, I will bring them (J)from the north country
and (K)gather them from (L)the farthest parts of the earth,
among them (M)the blind and the lame,
the pregnant woman and she who is in labor, together;
a great company, they shall return here.
9 (N)With weeping they shall come,
(O)and with pleas for mercy I will lead them back,
I will make them (P)walk by brooks of water,
(Q)in a straight path in which they shall not stumble,
for (R)I am a father to Israel,
and Ephraim is (S)my firstborn.
10 “Hear the word of the Lord, O nations,
and declare it in the coastlands far away;
say, ‘He who scattered Israel will (T)gather him,
and will keep him (U)as a shepherd keeps his flock.’
Jeremiah 3:18-23
English Standard Version
18 (A)In those days the house of Judah shall join the house of Israel, and together they shall come from the land (B)of the north to (C)the land that I gave your fathers for a heritage.
19 “‘I said,
How I would set you among my sons,
and give you a pleasant land,
a heritage most beautiful of all nations.
And I thought you would (D)call me, My Father,
and would not turn from following me.
20 (E)Surely, as a treacherous wife leaves her husband,
so have you been treacherous to me, O house of Israel,
declares the Lord.’”
21 A voice on the (F)bare heights is heard,
(G)the weeping and pleading of Israel's sons
because they have perverted their way;
they have forgotten the Lord their God.
22 (H)“Return, O faithless sons;
(I)I will heal your faithlessness.”
“Behold, we come to you,
for you are the Lord our God.
23 Truly (J)the hills are a delusion,
the orgies[a] on the mountains.
(K)Truly in the Lord our God
is the salvation of Israel.

(D)I will not be angry forever.
13 (E)Only acknowledge your guilt,
that you rebelled against the Lord your God
and scattered your favors among foreigners under (F)every green tree,
and that you have not obeyed my voice,
declares the Lord.
14 (G)Return, O faithless children,
declares the Lord;
(H)for I am your master;
I will take you, one from a city and two from a family,
and I will bring you to Zion.
