Jeremiah 3:20-25
20SurelyH403 as a wifeH802 treacherouslyH898 departeth from her husbandH7453, so have ye dealt treacherouslyH898 with me, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, saithH5002 YhwhH3068.1 21A voiceH6963 was heardH8085 upon the high placesH8205, weepingH1065 and supplicationsH8469 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: for they have pervertedH5753 their wayH1870, and they have forgottenH7911 YhwhH3068 their GodH430. 22ReturnH7725, ye backslidingH7726 childrenH1121, and I will healH7495 your backslidingsH4878. Behold, we comeH857 unto thee; for thou art YhwhH3068 our GodH430. 23TrulyH403 in vainH8267 is salvation hoped for from the hillsH1389, and from the multitudeH1995 of mountainsH2022: trulyH403 in YhwhH3068 our GodH430 is the salvationH8668 of IsraelH3478. 24For shameH1322 hath devouredH398 the labourH3018 of our fathersH1 from our youthH5271; their flocksH6629 and their herdsH1241, their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323. 25We lie downH7901 in our shameH1322, and our confusionH3639 coverethH3680 us: for we have sinnedH2398 against YhwhH3068 our GodH430, we and our fathersH1, from our youthH5271 even unto this dayH3117, and have not obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of YhwhH3068 our GodH430.
