Jeremiah 31:18-19

English Standard Version

¹⁸ I have heard ^(A)Ephraim grieving,
‘You have disciplined me, and I was disciplined,
    like an untrained calf;
^(B)bring me back that I may be restored,
    for you are the Lord my God.
¹⁹ For after ^(C)I had turned away, I relented,
    and after I was instructed, ^(D)I struck my thigh;
^(E)I was ashamed, and I was confounded,
    because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’
