Jeremiah 3:19-21
New International Version
19 “I myself said,
“‘How gladly would I treat you like my children
and give you a pleasant land,(A)
the most beautiful inheritance(B) of any nation.’
I thought you would call me ‘Father’(C)
and not turn away from following me.
20 But like a woman unfaithful to her husband,
so you, Israel, have been unfaithful(D) to me,”
declares the Lord.

King James Version
19 But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me.
20 Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the Lord.
21 A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the Lord their God.
