Jeremiah 3:21-25

21A voice is heard on the 1bare heights, The weeping and the supplications of the sons of Israel; Because they have perverted their way, They have 2forgotten the Lord their God.22“Return, O faithless sons, 3I will heal your faithlessness.” “Behold, we come to You; For You are the Lord our God.23Surely, 4the hills are a deception, A tumult on the mountains. Surely in the 5Lord our God Is the salvation of Israel.

24“But 6the shameful thing has consumed the labor of our fathers since our youth, their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters. 25Let us lie down in our 7shame, and let our humiliation cover us; for we have sinned against the Lord our God, we and our fathers, 8from our youth even to this day. And we have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God.”
