Jeremiah 3:11-15

11And the Lord said to me, “1Faithless Israel has proved herself to be more righteous than treacherous Judah. 12Go and proclaim these words toward the north and say, ‘2Return, faithless Israel,’ declares the Lord; ‘3I will not 4look at you in anger. For I am 5gracious,’ declares the Lord; ‘I will not be angry forever.13Only 6 7acknowledge your wrongdoing, That you have revolted against the Lord your God, And have 8scattered your 9favors to the strangers 10under every leafy tree, And you have not obeyed My voice,’ declares the Lord.14‘Return, you faithless sons,’ declares the Lord; ‘For I am a 11master to you, And I will take you, one from a city and two from a family, And 12bring you to Zion.’

15“Then I will give you 13shepherds 14after My own heart, who will 15feed you knowledge and understanding.
