Jeremiah 31:17-19
EasyEnglish Bible
17 ‘Yes, you will have descendants in the future.
Your children will return to their own land.’
That is what the Lord says.
18 ‘I have heard Israel's people when they are sad.
They say to me, “You punished us,
and we accepted it.
You taught us to obey you,
like a farmer teaches an ox to work for him.
So let us come back to serve you.
We are ready to return to you,
because you are the Lord, our God.
19 After we turned away from you,
we were sorry that we had done that.
We understood what we had done,
and we showed that we were sad.
We were ashamed and upset,
because of the disgusting things that we did when we were young.”
Jeremiah 31:17-19
New International Version
17 So there is hope(A) for your descendants,”
declares the Lord.
“Your children(B) will return to their own land.
18 “I have surely heard Ephraim’s moaning:
‘You disciplined(C) me like an unruly calf,(D)
and I have been disciplined.
Restore(E) me, and I will return,
because you are the Lord my God.
19 After I strayed,(F)
I repented;
after I came to understand,
I beat(G) my breast.
I was ashamed(H) and humiliated
because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’(I)
