Jeremiah 3:12-15
New American Standard Bible
12 Go and proclaim these words toward the north and say,
‘(A)Return, faithless Israel,’ declares the Lord;
‘(B)I will not [a]look at you in anger.
For I am (C)gracious,’ declares the Lord;
‘I will not be angry forever.
13 Only [b](D)acknowledge your wrongdoing,
That you have revolted against the Lord your God,
And have (E)scattered your [c]favors to the strangers (F)under every leafy tree,
And you have not obeyed My voice,’ declares the Lord.
14 ‘Return, you faithless sons,’ declares the Lord;
‘For I am a (G)master to you,
And I will take you, one from a city and two from a family,
And (H)bring you to Zion.’
15 “Then I will give you (I)shepherds [d]after My own heart, who will (J)feed you knowledge and understanding.
