Jeremiah 3:12-14

12 Go, and proclaim these words toward ^athe north, and say,

^b“‘Return, faithless Israel,

declares the Lord.
I will not look on you in anger,
for ^cI am merciful,

declares the Lord;
^dI will not be angry forever.
13 ^eOnly acknowledge your guilt,
that you rebelled against the Lord your God
and scattered your favors among foreigners under ^fevery green tree,
and that you have not obeyed my voice,

declares the Lord.
14 ^gReturn, O faithless children,

declares the Lord;
^hfor I am your master;
I will take you, one from a city and two from a family,
and I will bring you to Zion.
