22 [a]“Return, O faithless sons;
(A)I will heal your faithlessness.”
“Behold, we come to You,
For You are Yahweh our God.
23 Surely, (B)the hills are a lie,
A tumult on the mountains.
Surely in (C)Yahweh our God
Is the salvation of Israel.

24 “But (D)the shameful thing has devoured the labor of our fathers since our youth, their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters. 25 Let us lie down in our (E)shame, and let our dishonor cover us; for we have sinned against Yahweh our God, we and our fathers, (F)from our youth even to this day. And we have not listened to the voice of Yahweh our God.”

  1. Jeremiah 3:22 Or Return, O sons, who have turned away

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.”
