Jeremiah 31:17-19

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁷ There is hope for your future^(A)—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
and your children will return to their own territory.
¹⁸ I have heard Ephraim moaning,
“You disciplined me, and I have been disciplined
like an untrained calf.
Restore me, and I will return,
for you, Lord, are my God.^(B)
19 After I returned, I repented;
After I was instructed, I struck my thigh in grief.^(C)
I was ashamed and humiliated
because I bore the disgrace of my youth.”
