¹⁷ So there is hope^(A) for your descendants,”
declares the Lord.
    “Your children^(B) will return to their own land.

    ‘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.

    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)
