Jeremiah 3:22-24
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
22 Return, rebellious children!
I will heal your rebellions.
“Here we are! We belong to you,
for you are the Lord, our God.(A)
23 Deceptive indeed are the hills,
the mountains, clamorous;
Only in the Lord our God
is Israel’s salvation.(B)
24 The shameful thing[a] has devoured
our ancestors’ worth from our youth,
Their sheep and cattle,
their sons and daughters.
Footnotes

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.
