Jeremiah 3:22-24
Common English Bible
22 Return, rebellious children,
and I will heal your rebellion.
“Here we are; we come to you,
for you are the Lord our God.
23 Surely what happens on the hills[a] is a waste,
as is the uproar on the mountains.
Only in the Lord our God
is the salvation of Israel.
24 From our youth, shame[b] has devoured
the fruit of our parents’ labor—
their flocks and herds,
as well as their sons and daughters.
