Jeremiah 31:17-19
Complete Jewish Bible
17 (18) “I hear Efrayim bemoaning himself:
‘You disciplined me, and I took your discipline
like a young ox not used to a yoke.
Let me return, and I will return,
for you are Adonai, my God.
18 (19) Yes, I turned away;
but later I repented.
When I had been made to understand,
I struck my thigh in shame and remorse,
bearing the weight of the disgrace
acquired when I was young.’
19 (20) “Isn’t Efrayim my very dear son,
a child who delights me so?
I speak about him all the time,
I can’t help but recall him to mind.
In sum, I deeply yearn for him;
I will surely show him favor,” says Adonai.
Jeremiah 31:17-19
New International Version
17 So there is hope(A) for your descendants,”
declares the Lord.
“Your children(B) will return to their own land.
18 “I have surely heard Ephraim’s moaning:
‘You disciplined(C) me like an unruly calf,(D)
and I have been disciplined.
Restore(E) me, and I will return,
because you are the Lord my God.
19 After I strayed,(F)
I repented;
after I came to understand,
I beat(G) my breast.
I was ashamed(H) and humiliated
because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’(I)
