Jeremiah 3:22-25

Expanded Bible

²² “Come back to me, you ·unfaithful [apostate] children,
and I will ·forgive [^Lheal] you for being ·unfaithful [apostate].”

“Yes, we will come to you,
    because you are the Lord our God.
²³ ·It was foolish to worship idols on [^LDeception/Illusions come from] the hills
    and ·orgies [^La tumult] on the mountains.
Surely the salvation of Israel
    comes from the Lord our God.
²⁴ Since our youth, shameful things [^Cfalse gods] have eaten up
    everything our ·ancestors [fathers] worked for—
    their flocks and herds,
    their sons and daughters.
²⁵ Let us lie down in our ·shame [humiliation],
    and let our disgrace cover us.
We have sinned against the Lord our God,
    both we and our ·ancestors [fathers].
From our youth until now,
    we have not ·obeyed [^Llistened to the voice of] the Lord our God.”
