Jeremiah 3:12-22

12GoH1980 and proclaimH7121 these wordsH1697 toward the northH6828, and sayH559, ReturnH7725, thou backsliding IsraelH3478, saith Jehovah: I will not make my faceH6440 dark upon you; for I am merciful, saith Jehovah; I will not keepH5201 [anger] for everH5769.

13OnlyH389 acknowledge thine iniquityH5771, that thou hast transgressedH6586 against Jehovah thy 1GodH430, and hast turned thy waysH1870 hither and thither to the strangersH2114 under every green treeH6086; and ye have not hearkened to my voiceH6963, saith Jehovah.

14ReturnH7725, backsliding children, saith Jehovah; for I am a husbandH1166 unto you, and I will takeH3947 you, oneH259 of a cityH5892, and twoH8147 of a familyH4940, and I will bringH935 you to ZionH6726.

15And I will giveH5414 you shepherdsH7462 according to my heartH3820, and they shall feedH7462 you with knowledgeH1844 and understanding.

16And it shall come to pass, when ye are multipliedH7235 in the landH776 and becomeH1961 fruitfulH6509, in those daysH3117, saith Jehovah, they shall sayH559 no more, ArkH727 of the covenantH1285 of Jehovah! neither shall it come to mind, nor shall they rememberH2142 it, nor shall they visitH6485 [it]; neither shall it beH1961 done any more.

17At that timeH6256 they shall callH7121 JerusalemH3389 the throneH3678 of Jehovah; and all the nationsH1471 shall be gathered unto it, to the nameH8034 of Jehovah, to JerusalemH3389; and they shall no more walk after the stubbornnessH8307 of their evilH7451 heartH3820.

18In those daysH3117 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 shall walk with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; and they shall comeH935 togetherH3162 out of the landH776 of the northH6828, to the landH776 which I caused your fathersH1 to inheritH5157.

19And as for me, I saidH559, HowH349 shall I putH5414 thee among the children, and giveH5414 thee the pleasant landH776, the goodly inheritanceH5159 of the hostsH6635 of the nationsH1471? And I saidH559, Thou shalt callH7121 me, My fatherH1; and shalt not turnH7725 awayH7725 from following me.

20Surely [as] a womanH802 treacherouslyH898 departeth from her companionH7453, soH3651 have ye dealtH898 treacherouslyH898 with me, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, saith Jehovah.

21A voiceH6963 is heardH8085 upon the heightsH8205, the weepingH1065 supplicationsH8469 of the children of IsraelH3478; for they have perverted their wayH1870, they have forgottenH7911 Jehovah their 2GodH430.

22— ReturnH7725, backsliding children; I will healH7495 your backslidings. ...Behold, we comeH857 unto thee; for thou art Jehovah our 3GodH430.
