Jeremiah 31:20-22

New Living Translation

²⁰ “Is not Israel still my son,
    my darling child?” says the Lord.
“I often have to punish him,
    but I still love him.
That’s why I long for him
    and surely will have mercy on him.
²¹ Set up road signs;
    put up guideposts.
Mark well the path
    by which you came.
Come back again, my virgin Israel;
    return to your towns here.
²² How long will you wander,
    my wayward daughter?
For the Lord will cause something new to happen—
    Israel will embrace her God.^[a]”
