Jeremiah 31:19-21
1599 Geneva Bible
19 Surely after that I was converted, I repented, and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my [a]thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.
20 Is Ephraim [b]my dear son or pleasant child? yet since I spake unto him, I still [c]remembered him: therefore my bowels are troubled for him. I will surely have compassion upon him, saith the Lord.
21 Set thee up [d]signs: make thee heaps: set thine heart toward the path and way, that thou hast walked: turn again, O virgin of Israel: turn again to these thy cities.
