Jeremiah 3:21-23

New International Version

²¹A cry is heard on the barren heights,^(A)
the weeping^(B) and pleading of the people of Israel,
because they have perverted their ways
and have forgotten^(C) the Lord their God.

²²“Return,^(D) faithless people;
I will cure^(E) you of backsliding.”^(F)

“Yes, we will come to you,
    for you are the Lord our God.
²³Surely the idolatrous commotion on the hills^(G)
    and mountains is a deception;
surely in the Lord our God
    is the salvation^(H) of Israel.

²¹A voice was heard on ^(A)the desolate heights,
Weeping and supplications of the children of Israel.

And I will ^(B)heal your backslidings.”

“Indeed we do come to You,
For You are the Lord our God.
²³^(C)Truly, in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills,
And from the multitude of mountains;
^(D)Truly, in the Lord our God
