Jeremiah 31:17-19

Lexham English Bible

¹⁷ And there is hope for your future,” declares^[a] Yahweh,
    “and your children will return to their territory.
¹⁸ Indeed I heard Ephraim pitying themselves,
    ‘You disciplined me, and I was disciplined,
    like a calf that is not trained.
Bring me back and let me return,
    for you are Yahweh my God.
¹⁹ For after my turning back I repented,
    and after coming to understand I struck my thigh.
I was ashamed and also humiliated,
    because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’
