Jeremiah 31:18-20

Revised Geneva Translation

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.’

²⁰ “Is Ephraim My dear son or pleasant child? Yet, though I spoke against him, I still remembered him. Therefore, My Core is troubled for him. I will surely have compassion upon him,” says the LORD.
