Jeremiah 31:17-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁷ Thus there is hope for your future, says the Lord;
    your children will return to their homeland.
¹⁸ I have indeed heard Ephraim pleading,
    “You chastised me, and I accepted your discipline,
    I was like an untamed calf.
Bring me back! Allow me to return,
    for you are the Lord, my God.
