Jeremiah 3:14-23

14‘Return, you 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 2bring you to Zion.’

15“Then I will give you 3shepherds 4after My own heart, who will 5feed you knowledge and understanding. 16And it shall be in those days when you become numerous and are fruitful in the land,” declares the Lord, “they will 6no longer say, ‘The ark of the covenant of the Lord.’ And it will not come to mind, nor will they remember it, nor miss it, nor will it be made again. 17At that time they will call Jerusalem ‘The 7Throne of the Lord,’ and 8all the nations will assemble at it, at Jerusalem, for the 9name of the Lord; and they will no longer 10follow the stubbornness of their evil heart. 1811In those days the house of Judah will walk with the house of Israel, and they will come together 12from the land of the north to the 13land that I gave your fathers as an inheritance.

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

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