Jeremiah 3:14-23

14‘Return, O faithless sons,’ declares the Lord; ‘For I am a 1master to you, And I will take you one from a city and two from a family, And 2I will bring you to Zion.’

15“Then I will give you 3shepherds after My own heart, who will 4feed you on knowledge and understanding. 16It shall be in those days when you are multiplied and increased in the land,” declares the Lord, “they will 5no longer say, ‘The ark of the covenant of the Lord.’ And it will not come to mind, nor will they remember it, nor will they miss it, nor will it be made again. 17At that time they will call Jerusalem ‘The 6Throne of the Lord,’ and 7all the nations will be gathered to it, to Jerusalem, for the 8name of the Lord; nor will they 9walk anymore after the stubbornness of their evil heart. 1810In those days the house of Judah will walk with the house of Israel, and they will come together 11from the land of the north to the 12land that I gave your fathers as an inheritance.

19“Then I said, ‘How I would set you among 13My sons And give you a pleasant land, The most 14beautiful inheritance of the nations!’ And I said, ‘You shall call Me, 15My Father, And not turn away from following Me.’20Surely, as a woman treacherously departs from her 16lover, So you have 17dealt treacherously with Me, O house of Israel,” declares the Lord.

21A voice is heard on the 18bare heights, The weeping and the supplications of the sons of Israel; Because they have perverted their way, They have 19forgotten the Lord their God.22“Return, O faithless sons, 20I will heal your faithlessness.” “Behold, we come to You; For You are the Lord our God.23Surely, 21the hills are a deception, A tumult on the mountains. Surely in the 22Lord our God Is the salvation of Israel.
