Jeremiah 31:17-19

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁷ There is hope for your future, declares the Lord.
Your children will return to their own borders.

¹⁸ I have certainly heard Ephraim grieving:
“You have disciplined me.
I was disciplined like an untrained calf.
Cause me to turn, and I will turn,
because you are the Lord my God.
¹⁹ After I turned away, I was sorry.
After I was instructed, I slapped my thigh in grief.
I was ashamed and humiliated,
because I bore the disgrace of my youth.”
