Jeremiah 31:20-22

New Century Version

²⁰ “You know that Israel is my dear son,
    The child I love.
Yes, I often speak against Israel,
    but I still remember him.
I love him very much,
    and I want to comfort him,” says the Lord.

²¹ “People of Israel, fix the road signs.
    Put up signs to show you the way home.
Watch the road.
    Pay attention to the road on which you travel.
People of Israel, come home,
    come back to your towns.
²² You are an unfaithful daughter.
    How long will you wander before you come home?
The Lord has made something new happen in the land:
    A woman will go seeking a man.”
