Jeremiah 31:19-21

New Century Version

¹⁹Lord, after I wandered away from you,
    I changed my heart and life.
After I understood,
    I beat my breast with sorrow.
I was ashamed and disgraced,
    because I suffered for the foolish things I did when I was young.’

²⁰“You know that Israel is my dear son,
    The child I love.
Yes, I often speak against Israel,
    but I still remember him.
I love him very much,
    and I want to comfort him,” says the Lord.

²¹“People of Israel, fix the road signs.
    Put up signs to show you the way home.
Watch the road.
    Pay attention to the road on which you travel.
People of Israel, come home,
    come back to your towns.
