Jeremiah 31:18-20
Tree of Life Version
Jeremiah 31:18-20
Tree of Life Version
18 For after I returned, I repented,
and after that I was instructed,
I struck my thigh—
I was ashamed and also humiliated,
for I bore the disgrace of my youth.’
19 Is Ephraim a precious son to Me?
Is he a delightful child?
For as often as I spoke against him,
I still certainly remember him.
Therefore My heart yearns for him.
I will surely have compassion on him.”
It is a declaration of Adonai.
20 Erect road markers,
set up signposts!
Set your heart toward the highway,
the way by which you traveled!
Return, O virgin Israel,
return to your cities.
Jeremiah 31:18-20
New International Version
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.
