Jeremiah 31:18-20
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
18 Hearing I heard Ephraim when he went into captivity: thou hast chastised me, and I was instructed, as a young bullock unaccustomed to the yoke. Convert me, and I shall be converted, for thou art the Lord my God.
19 For after thou didst convert me, I did penance: and after thou didst shew unto me, I struck my thigh: I am confounded and ashamed, because I have borne the reproach of my youth.
20 Surely Ephraim is an honourable son to me, surely he is a tender child: for since I spoke of him, I will still remember him. Therefore are my bowels troubled for him: pitying I will pity him, saith the Lord.

Jeremiah 31:18-20
New International Version
18 “I have surely heard Ephraim’s moaning:
‘You disciplined(A) me like an unruly calf,(B)
and I have been disciplined.
Restore(C) me, and I will return,
because you are the Lord my God.
19 After I strayed,(D)
I repented;
after I came to understand,
I beat(E) my breast.
I was ashamed(F) and humiliated
because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’(G)
20 Is not Ephraim my dear son,
the child(H) in whom I delight?
Though I often speak against him,
I still remember(I) him.
Therefore my heart yearns for him;
I have great compassion(J) for him,”
declares the Lord.
