Jeremiah 3:20-22
Easy-to-Read Version
19-20 This message is from the Lord:
“I want to treat you like my own children.
I want to give you a pleasant land,
a land more beautiful than any other nation.
I thought you would call me ‘Father.’
I thought you would always follow me.
But you have been unfaithful to me, family of Israel!
You have been like an unfaithful wife who leaves her husband.
21 You can hear crying on the bare hills.
The people of Israel are crying and praying for mercy.
They became very evil.
They forgot the Lord their God.
22 “People of Israel, you are unfaithful to me, but come back to me.
Come back and I will forgive[a] you for being unfaithful.
“Just say, ‘Yes, we will come back,
because you are the Lord our God.
