Call to Backsliding Children

14 “Return, O backsliding children,” declares Adonai.
    “For I am your Husband.
    I will choose you—
        one from a city and two from a clan—
    and will bring you to Zion.
15 I will give you shepherds after My own heart
    who will feed you knowledge and understanding.
16 It will be in those days when you multiply
    and become fruitful in the land.”
