17 There is (A)hope for your future,” declares the Lord,
“And your children will return to their own territory.
18 I have certainly heard Ephraim (B)grieving,
‘You have (C)disciplined me, and I was corrected,
Like an untrained (D)calf;
(E)Bring me back that I may be restored,
For You are the Lord my God.
19 For after I turned back, I (F)repented;
And after I was instructed, I [a](G)slapped my thigh;
I was (H)ashamed and also humiliated
Because I bore the shame of my youth.’
