Jeremiah 3:22-24

International Children’s Bible

²² “Come back to me, you unfaithful people of Israel.
    Come back, and I will forgive you for being unfaithful.”

“Yes, we will come to you.
    You are the Lord our God.
²³ It was foolish to worship idols on the hills.
    All the loud noises on the mountains were a lie.
Surely the salvation of Israel
    comes from the Lord our God.
²⁴ Since we were young, shameful gods have eaten up in sacrifice
    everything our fathers worked for.
The shameful gods have taken our fathers’ sheep and cattle.
    They have taken our fathers’ sons and daughters.
