Jeremiah 3:22-25
Holman 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 fathers 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 fathers,
from the time of our youth even to this day.(F)
We have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God.”

Jeremiah 3:22-25
Common English Bible
22 Return, rebellious children,
and I will heal your rebellion.
“Here we are; we come to you,
for you are the Lord our God.
23 Surely what happens on the hills[a] is a waste,
as is the uproar on the mountains.
Only in the Lord our God
is the salvation of Israel.
24 From our youth, shame[b] has devoured
the fruit of our parents’ labor—
their flocks and herds,
as well as their sons and daughters.
25 Let’s lie down in our shame.
Let our dishonor cover us,
for we have sinned against the Lord our God,
both we and our ancestors,
from our youth to this very day.
We have disobeyed the voice of the Lord our God.”
