Jeremiah 31:18-22

18 I have heard ^gEphraim grieving,
‘You have disciplined me, and I was disciplined,
like an untrained calf;
^hbring me back that I may be restored,
for you are the Lord my God.
19 For after ⁱI had turned away, I relented,
and after I was instructed, ^jI struck my thigh;
^kI was ashamed, and I was confounded,
because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’
20 ^lIs Ephraim my dear son?
^mIs he my darling child?
For as often as I speak against him,
I do remember him still.
ⁿTherefore my heart ^{▼▼Hebrew bowels} yearns for him;
I will surely have mercy on him,

declares the Lord.
21 ^p“Set up road markers for yourself;
make yourself guideposts;
^qconsider well the highway,
^rthe road by which you went.
Return, O virgin Israel,
return to these your cities.
22 ^sHow long will you waver,
^tO faithless daughter?
For the Lord has created a new thing on the earth:
a woman encircles a man.”

Hosea 5:13

13 When Ephraim saw his sickness,

and sent to the great king. ^{▼▼Or to King Jareb}
^xBut he is not able to cure you
or heal ^yyour wound.

Hosea 7:11
