Jeremiah 3:22-25
Christian Standard Bible
22 Return, you faithless children.
I will heal your unfaithfulness.(A)
“Here we are, coming to you,
for you are the Lord our God.
23 Surely, falsehood comes from the hills,
commotion from the mountains,(B)
but the salvation of Israel
is only in the Lord our God.(C)
24 From the time of our youth
the shameful one[a] has consumed
what our ancestors have worked for—
their flocks and their herds,
their sons and their daughters.
25 Let us lie down in our shame;
let our disgrace cover us.(D)
We have sinned against the Lord our God,(E)
both we and our ancestors,
from the time of our youth even to this day.(F)
We have not obeyed the Lord our God.”

22 Return, O faithless children,
I will heal your faithlessness.
“Here we come to you,
for you are the Lord our God.(A)
23 Truly the hills are[a] a delusion,
a tumult on the mountains.
Truly in the Lord our God
is the salvation of Israel.(B)
24 “But from our youth the shameful thing has devoured all for which our ancestors had labored, their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters. 25 Let us lie down in our shame, and let our dishonor cover us, for we have sinned against the Lord our God, we and our ancestors, from our youth even to this day, and we have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God.”(C)
