Jeremiah 31:17-21
17 aThere is hope for your future,declares the Lord,
and your children shall come back to their own country.
18I have heard bEphraim grieving,
‘You have disciplined me, and I was disciplined,
like an untrained calf;
cbring me back that I may be restored,
for you are the Lord my God.
19For after dI had turned away, I relented,
and after I was instructed, eI struck my thigh;
fI was ashamed, and I was confounded,
because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’
20 gIs Ephraim my dear son?
hIs he my darling child?
For as often as I speak against him,
I do remember him still.
iTherefore my heart ▼
▼Hebrew bowels
yearns for him;I will surely have mercy on him,
declares the Lord.
21 k“Set up road markers for yourself;
make yourself guideposts;
lconsider well the highway,
mthe road by which you went.
Return, O virgin Israel,
return to these your cities.
Ezekiel 6:9-10
9then those of you who escape nwill remember me among the nations where they are carried captive, how oI have been broken over their whoring heart that has departed from me and over their eyes pthat go whoring after their idols. qAnd they will be loathsome in their own sight for the evils that they have committed, for all their abominations. 10And they shall know that I am the Lord. rI have not said in vain that I would do this evil to them.”Ezekiel 16:63
63that you may remember and be confounded, and snever open your mouth again because of your shame, when I atone for you for all that you have done, declares the Lord God.”Ezekiel 20:43
43 tAnd there you shall remember your ways and all your deeds with which you have defiled yourselves, uand you shall loathe yourselves for all the evils that you have committed.Ezekiel 36:31
31Then vyou will remember your evil ways, and your deeds that were not good, and you will loathe yourselves for your iniquities and your abominations.
