Jeremiah 3:22-24
Easy-to-Read Version
22 “People of Israel, you are unfaithful to me, but come back to me.
Come back and I will forgive[a] you for being unfaithful.
“Just say, ‘Yes, we will come back,
because you are the Lord our God.
23 It was foolish to worship idols on the hills.
All the loud parties on the mountains were wrong.
Surely the salvation of Israel
comes from the Lord our God.
24 That terrible false god Baal has eaten everything our fathers owned.
This has happened since we were children.
That terrible false god took our fathers’ sheep and cattle
and their sons and daughters.

the fruits of our ancestors’ labor—
their flocks and herds,
their sons and daughters.
