Jeremiah 3:19-25

19And as for me, I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee the pleasant land, the goodly inheritance of the hosts of the nations? And I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from following me. 20Surely [as] a woman treacherously departeth from her companion, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith Jehovah. 21A voice is heard upon the heights, the weeping supplications of the children of Israel; for they have perverted their way, they have forgotten Jehovah their 1God. 22— Return, backsliding children; I will heal your backslidings. ...Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art Jehovah our 2God. 23Truly in vain [is salvation looked for] from the hills, [and] the multitude of mountains; truly in Jehovah our 3God is the salvation of Israel. 24But shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters. 25We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us; for we have sinned against Jehovah our 4God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah our 5God.
