‘How can I put you among the children
And give you aa pleasant land,
A beautiful heritage of the hosts of nations?’ “And I said:
‘You shall call Me, b“My Father,”
And not turn away from Me.’
So ahave you dealt treacherously with Me,
O house of Israel,” says the Lord.
Weeping and supplications of the children of Israel.
For they have perverted their way;
They have forgotten the Lord their God.
And I will aheal your backslidings.”
“Indeed we do come to You,
For You are the Lord our God.
And from the multitude of mountains;
bTruly, in the Lord our God
Is the salvation of Israel.
The labor of our fathers from our youth—
Their flocks and their herds,
Their sons and their daughters.
And our1 reproach covers us.
aFor we have sinned against the Lord our God,
We and our fathers,
From our youth even to this day,
And bhave not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God.”
| << Jeremiah 3:20 | Jeremiah 3:22 >> |
