Jeremiah 3:12-15
Lexham English Bible
12 Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and say,
‘Return, apostate[a] Israel,’ declares[b] Yahweh.
‘I will not cause my anger[c] to fall on you.
For I am loyal,’ declares[d] Yahweh.
‘I will not be angry forever.[e]
13 Only acknowledge your guilt,
that against Yahweh your God you have rebelled,
and have scattered your ways to the strangers under every leafy tree,
and you have not obeyed my voice,’ declares[f] Yahweh.”
14 “Return, apostate[g] children,” declares[h] Yahweh. “For I am your master,[i] and I will take you one from a city and two from a clan,[j] and I will bring you to Zion. 15 Then I will give you shepherds after my own heart and they will feed you knowledge and insight.
