Jeremiah 31:19-21
Evangelical Heritage Version
19 After I turned away, I was sorry.
After I was instructed, I slapped my thigh in grief.
I was ashamed and humiliated,
because I bore the disgrace of my youth.”
The Lord Speaks Again
20 Isn’t Ephraim my dear son?
Isn’t he my darling child?
I often speak against him,
but I still remember him.
My heart longs for him.
I will certainly be compassionate to him, declares the Lord.
21 Set up road signs.
Make guideposts.
Direct your attention toward the highway,
toward the way by which you came.
Turn back, Virgin Israel.
Turn back to your cities.
Jeremiah 31:19-21
New International Version
19 After I strayed,(A)
I repented;
after I came to understand,
I beat(B) my breast.
I was ashamed(C) and humiliated
because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’(D)
20 Is not Ephraim my dear son,
the child(E) in whom I delight?
Though I often speak against him,
I still remember(F) him.
Therefore my heart yearns for him;
I have great compassion(G) for him,”
declares the Lord.
