Jeremiah 3:19-22
English Standard Version
19 “‘I said,
How I would set you among my sons,
and give you a pleasant land,
a heritage most beautiful of all nations.
And I thought you would (A)call me, My Father,
and would not turn from following me.
20 (B)Surely, as a treacherous wife leaves her husband,
so have you been treacherous to me, O house of Israel,
declares the Lord.’”
21 A voice on the (C)bare heights is heard,
(D)the weeping and pleading of Israel's sons
because they have perverted their way;
they have forgotten the Lord their God.
22 (E)“Return, O faithless sons;
(F)I will heal your faithlessness.”
“Behold, we come to you,
for you are the Lord our God.
