Jeremiah 3:22-25

International Standard Version

²² “Turn back, unfaithful people,^[a]
    and I’ll heal your unfaithfulness.”

“Look, we’re coming to you
    because you are the Lord our God.
²³ Truly the hills are a deception,^[b]
    and the mountains^[c] are confusion.
        Truly, in the Lord our God is Israel’s salvation.”
²⁴ Since our youth the false gods have consumed
    the products of our ancestors’ hard work,
their sheep and their cattle,
    their sons and their daughters.
²⁵ “Let us lie down in our shame,
    and let our humiliation cover us,
because both we and our ancestors have sinned
    against the Lord our God from our youth
        until this present time.
We haven’t obeyed the Lord our God.”
