Jeremiah 3:21-25

21 A voice on the ^abare heights is heard,
^bthe weeping and pleading of Israel’s sons
because they have perverted their way;
they have forgotten the Lord their God.
22 ^c“Return, O faithless sons;
^dI will heal your faithlessness.”
“Behold, we come to you,
for you are the Lord our God.
23 Truly ^ethe hills are a delusion,
the orgies ^{▼▼Hebrew commotion} on the mountains.
^gTruly in the Lord our God
is the salvation of Israel.
24 “But from our youth the shameful thing has devoured all for which our fathers labored, their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters. 25 ^hLet us lie down in our shame, and let our dishonor cover us. For ⁱwe have sinned against the Lord our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even to this day, and we have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God.”
