Jeremiah 3:15-25
15“Then I will giveH5414 you 1shepherdsH7462 2after My own heartH3820, who will 3feedH7462 you knowledgeH1844 and understandingH7919. 16And it shall be in thoseH1992 daysH3117 whenH3588 you becomeH7235 numerousH7235 and areH6509 fruitfulH6509 in the landH776,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “they will 4noH3808 longerH5750 sayH559, ‘The arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LordH3068.’ And it will not comeH5927 to mindH3820, norH3808 will they rememberH2142 it, norH3808 missH6485 it, norH3808 will it be madeH6213 againH5750. 17At that timeH6256 they will callH7121 JerusalemH3389 ‘The 5ThroneH3678 of the LordH3068,’ and 6allH3605 the nationsH1471 will assembleH6960 at it, at JerusalemH3389, for the 7nameH8034 of the LordH3068; and they will noH3808 longerH5750 8followH1980H310 the stubbornnessH8307 of their evilH7451 heartH3820. 189In thoseH1992 daysH3117 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 will walkH1980 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and they will comeH935 togetherH3164 10from the landH776 of the northH6828 to the 11landH776 that I gaveH5157 your fathersH1 asH5157 anH5157 inheritanceH5157.
19“Then I saidH559, ‘HowH349 I would setH7896 you among 12My sonsH1121 And giveH5414 you a pleasantH2532 landH776, The mostH6643 13beautifulH6643 inheritanceH5159 of the nationsH1471!’ And I saidH559, ‘You shall callH7121 Me, 14My FatherH1, And not turnH7725 awayH7725 from followingH310 Me.’20HoweverH403, as a womanH802 treacherouslyH898 leavesH898H4480 her loverH7453, SoH3651 you have 15dealtH898 treacherouslyH898 with Me, HouseH1004 of IsraelH3478,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.
21A voiceH6963 is heardH8085 on the 16bareH8205 heightsH8205, The weepingH1065, the pleadingH8469 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. BecauseH3588 they have pervertedH5753 their wayH1870, They have 17forgottenH7911 the LordH3068 their GodH430.22“ReturnH7725, you faithlessH7726 sonsH1121, 18I will healH7495 your faithlessnessH4878.” “BeholdH2009, we comeH857 to You; For You are the LordH3068 our GodH430.23CertainlyH403 19the hillsH1389 are a deceptionH8267, 20CommotionH1995 on the mountainsH2022. CertainlyH403 in the 21LordH3068 our GodH430 Is the salvationH8668 of IsraelH3478.
24“But 22the shameH1322 has consumedH398 the productH3018 ofH3018 our fathers’H1 laborH3018 sinceH4480 our youthH5271--their flocksH6629 and their herdsH1241, their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323. 25Let us lieH7901 downH7901 in our 23shameH1322, and let our humiliationH3639 coverH3680 us; for we have sinnedH2398 against the LordH3068 our GodH430, we and our fathersH1, 24from our youthH5271 even to thisH2088 dayH3117. And we have not obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068 our GodH430.”
