Jeremiah 3:22-25

English Standard Version

²²^(A)“Return, O faithless sons;
    ^(B)I will heal your faithlessness.”
“Behold, we come to you,
    for you are the Lord our God.
²³Truly ^(C)the hills are a delusion,
    the orgies^[a] on the mountains.
^(D)Truly in the Lord our God
    is the salvation of Israel.

²⁴“But from our youth the shameful thing has devoured all for which our fathers labored, their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters. ²⁵^(E)Let us lie down in our shame, and let our dishonor cover us. For ^(F)we have sinned against the Lord our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even to this day, and we have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God.”
