Jeremiah 3:21-25

21A voice is heard on the 1bare heights, The weeping, the pleading of the sons of Israel. Because they have perverted their way, They have 2forgotten the Lord their God.22“Return, you faithless sons, 3I will heal your faithlessness.” “Behold, we come to You; For You are the Lord our God.23Certainly 4the hills are a deception, 5Commotion on the mountains. Certainly in the 6Lord our God Is the salvation of Israel.

24“But 7the shame has consumed the product of our fathers’ labor since our youth--their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters. 25Let us lie down in our 8shame, and let our humiliation cover us; for we have sinned against the Lord our God, we and our fathers, 9from our youth even to this day. And we have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God.”
