Jeremiah 3:12-15
New American Standard Bible
12 Go and proclaim these words toward the north and say,
‘(A)Return, faithless Israel,’ declares the Lord;
‘(B)I will not [a]look at you in anger.
For I am (C)gracious,’ declares the Lord;
‘I will not be angry forever.
13 Only [b](D)acknowledge your wrongdoing,
That you have revolted against the Lord your God,
And have (E)scattered your [c]favors to the strangers (F)under every leafy tree,
And you have not obeyed My voice,’ declares the Lord.
14 ‘Return, you faithless sons,’ declares the Lord;
‘For I am a (G)master to you,
And I will take you, one from a city and two from a family,
And (H)bring you to Zion.’
15 “Then I will give you (I)shepherds [d]after My own heart, who will (J)feed you knowledge and understanding.

King James Version
12 Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the Lord; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep anger for ever.
13 Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the Lord thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the Lord.
14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:
15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
