Jeremiah 31:18-20

Names of God Bible

¹⁸ “I have certainly heard Ephraim mourn and say,
    ‘You disciplined me, and I was disciplined.
        I was like a young, untrained calf.
    Turn me, and I will be turned,
        because you are Yahweh my Elohim.
¹⁹ After I was turned around, I changed the way I thought and acted.
    After I was taught a lesson, I hung my head in shame.
    I was so ashamed and humiliated,
        because of all the stupid things I have done
            ever since I was young.’
²⁰ Is Ephraim my dear son? Is he a pleasant child?
    Even though I have often spoken against him, I still think fondly of him.
    That is why my heart longs for him,
        and I will certainly have compassion on him,” declares Yahweh.
