Jeremiah 3:22-24
1599 Geneva Bible
22 O ye disobedient children, return and I will heal your rebellions. [a]Behold, we come unto thee, for thou art the Lord our God.
23 Truly the hope of the hills is but vain, nor the multitude of mountains: but in the Lord our God is the health of Israel.
24 For confusion hath devoured our [b]father’s labor, from our youth, their sheep and their bullocks, their sons and their daughters.

Jeremiah 3:22-24
New International Version
“Yes, we will come to you,
for you are the Lord our God.
23 Surely the idolatrous commotion on the hills(D)
and mountains is a deception;
surely in the Lord our God
is the salvation(E) of Israel.
24 From our youth shameful(F) gods have consumed
the fruits of our ancestors’ labor—
their flocks and herds,
their sons and daughters.
