Jeremiah 3:19-25

19But I saidH559, HowH349 I will putH5414 thee among the children, and giveH5414 thee a pleasant landH776, a goodly heritage of the hostsH6635 of the nationsH1471! and I saidH559, Ye shall callH7121 me My FatherH1, and shall not turnH7725 awayH7725 from following me. 20Surely as a wifeH802 treacherouslyH898 departeth from her husband, soH3651 have ye dealtH898 treacherouslyH898 with me, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, saith Jehovah. 21A voiceH6963 is heardH8085 upon the bareH8205 heightsH8205, the weepingH1065 and the supplicationsH8469 of the children of IsraelH3478; because they have perverted their wayH1870, they have forgottenH7911 Jehovah their GodH430. 22ReturnH7725, ye backsliding children, I will healH7495 your backslidings.

Behold, we are comeH857 unto thee; for thou art Jehovah our GodH430. 23TrulyH403 in vain is the help that is looked for from the hillsH1389, the tumultH1995 on the mountainsH2022: trulyH403 in Jehovah our GodH430 is the salvationH8668 of IsraelH3478. 24But the shamefulH1322 thingH1322 hath devouredH398 the labor of our fathersH1 from our youthH5271, their flocksH6629 and their herdsH1241, their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323. 25Let us lieH7901 down in our shameH1322, and let our confusion coverH3680 us; for we have sinnedH2398 against Jehovah our GodH430, we and our fathersH1, from our youthH5271 even unto this dayH3117; and we have not obeyed the voiceH6963 of Jehovah our GodH430.
