Jeremiah 3:12-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

12 Go, proclaim these words toward the north, and say:

Return, rebel Israel—oracle of the Lord—
    I will not remain angry with you;
For I am merciful, oracle of the Lord,
    I will not keep my anger forever.(A)
13 Only admit your guilt:
    how you have rebelled against the Lord, your God,
How you ran here and there to strangers
    under every green tree
    and would not listen to my voice—oracle of the Lord.(B)
14 Return, rebellious children—oracle of the Lord—[a]
    for I am your master;
I will take you, one from a city, two from a clan,
    and bring you to Zion.(C)
