Jeremiah 3:20-22

New International Reader's Version

²¹ A cry is heard on the bare hilltops.
    The people of Israel are weeping and begging for help.
That’s because their lives are so twisted.
    They’ve forgotten the Lord their God.

²² “You have not been faithful,”
    says the Lord.
“Return to me. I will heal you.
    Then you will not turn away from me anymore.”

“Yes,” the people say. “We will come to you.
    You are the Lord our God.
