Jeremiah 31:17-19

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁷there is hope for your future,
says the Lord:
your children shall come back to their own country.

¹⁸Indeed I heard Ephraim pleading:
‘You disciplined me, and I took the discipline;
    I was like a calf untrained.
Bring me back, let me come back,
    for you are the Lord my God.
¹⁹For after I had turned away I repented;
    and after I was discovered, I struck my thigh;
I was ashamed, and I was dismayed
    because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’
