Jeremiah 3:12-22

12GoH1980, proclaimH7121 thisH428 messageH1697 toward the northH6828 :

‘ReturnH7725, O faithlessH4878 IsraelH3478,’ declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.‘I will no longerH3808 look on you with angerH5307 H6440,forH3588 IH589 am mercifulH2623,’ declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.‘I will notH3808 be angryH5201 foreverH5769.13OnlyH389 acknowledgeH3045 your guiltH5771,thatH3588 you have rebelledH6586 against the LORDH3068 your GodH430.You have scatteredH6340 your favorsH1870 to foreignH2114 godsunderH8478 everyH3605 greenH7488 treeH6086and have notH3808 obeyedH8085 My voiceH6963,’”declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.

14“ReturnH7725, O faithlessH7726 childrenH1121,” declaresH5002 the LORDH3068, “forH3588 IH595 am your masterH1166, and I will takeH3947 youH853—oneH259 from a cityH5892 and twoH8147 from a familyH4940—and bringH935 youH853 to ZionH6726. 15Then I will giveH5414 youH853 shepherdsH7462 after My own heartH3820, who will feedH7462 you with knowledgeH1844 and understandingH7919.”

16“In thoseH1992 daysH3117 H1961, whenH3588 you multiplyH7235 and increaseH6509 in the landH776,” declaresH5002 the LORDH3068, “they will noH3808 longerH5750 discussH559 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068. It will neverH3808 comeH5927 toH5921 mindH3820, and no oneH3808 will rememberH2142 it or miss itH6485, norH3808 will another oneH5750 be madeH6213.

17At thatH1931 timeH6256 they will callH7121 JerusalemH3389 The ThroneH3678 of the LORDH3068, and allH3605 the nationsH1471 will be gatheredH6960 in JerusalemH3389 to honor the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068. They will no longerH3808 H5750 followH1980 H310 the stubbornnessH8307 of their evilH7451 heartsH3820. 18In thoseH1992 daysH3117 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 will walkH1980 withH5921 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and they will comeH935 togetherH3162 from the landH776 of the northH6828 toH5921 the landH776 thatH834 I gave to your fathersH1 as an inheritanceH5157 .

19Then IH595 saidH559, ‘HowH349 I long to make youH7896 My sonsH1121and giveH5414 you a desirableH2532 landH776,the most beautifulH6643 inheritanceH5159of allH6643 the nationsH1471!’I thoughtH559 you would call MeH7121 ‘FatherH1’and neverH3808 turn awayH7725 from following MeH310.20ButH403 as a womanH802 may betrayH898 her husbandH7453,soH3651 you have betrayedH898 Me, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478,”declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.21A voiceH6963 is heardH8085 onH5921 the barren heightsH8205,the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 weepingH1065 and begging for mercyH8469,becauseH3588 they have pervertedH5753 their waysH1870and forgottenH7911 the LORDH3068 their GodH430.

22“ReturnH7725, O faithlessH7726 childrenH1121,and I will healH7495 your faithlessnessH4878.”

“Here we areH2005. We comeH857 to You,forH3588 YouH859 are the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
