Jeremiah 31:19-21
English Standard Version Anglicised
19 For after (A)I had turned away, I relented,
and after I was instructed, (B)I struck my thigh;
(C)I was ashamed, and I was confounded,
because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’
20 (D)Is Ephraim my dear son?
(E)Is he my darling child?
For as often as I speak against him,
I do remember him still.
(F)Therefore my heart[a] yearns for him;
I will surely have mercy on him,
declares the Lord.
21 (G)“Set up road markers for yourself;
make yourself guideposts;
(H)consider well the highway,
(I)the road by which you went.
Return, O virgin Israel,
return to these your cities.
