Jeremiah 3:14-16

New International Version

¹⁴ “Return,^(A) faithless people,” declares the Lord, “for I am your husband.^(B) I will choose you—one from a town and two from a clan—and bring you to Zion. ¹⁵ Then I will give you shepherds^(C) after my own heart,^(D) who will lead you with knowledge and understanding. ¹⁶ In those days, when your numbers have increased greatly in the land,” declares the Lord, “people will no longer say, ‘The ark^(E) of the covenant of the Lord.’ It will never enter their minds or be remembered;^(F) it will not be missed, nor will another one be made.
