Jeremiah 31:17-19
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
17 There is hope for your future—oracle of the Lord—
your children shall return to their own territory.(A)
18 Indeed, I heard Ephraim rocking in grief:
You chastised me, and I was chastised;
I was like an untamed calf.
Bring me back, let me come back,
for you are the Lord, my God.(B)
19 For after I turned away, I repented;
after I came to myself, I struck my thigh;[a]
I was ashamed, even humiliated,
because I bore the disgrace of my youth.(C)
