Jeremiah 31:17-19

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁷ “And there is hope in your future,” says the LORD, “that your children shall come back to their own borders.

¹⁸ “I have heard Ephraim lamenting, ‘You have corrected me,’ and ‘I was chastised as an untamed calf. Convert me, and I shall be converted. For You are the LORD my God.

¹⁹ ‘Surely, after I was converted, I repented. And after I was instructed, I struck my thigh. I was ashamed — yea, even humiliated — because I bore the reproach of my youth.’
