25 sLet us lie down in our shame, and let our dishonor cover us. For twe 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.”Jeremiah 31:18-20
18I have heard uEphraim grieving,‘You have disciplined me, and I was disciplined,
like an untrained calf;
vbring me back that I may be restored,
for you are the Lord my God.
19For after wI had turned away, I relented,
and after I was instructed, xI struck my thigh;
yI was ashamed, and I was confounded,
because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’
20 zIs Ephraim my dear son?
aaIs he my darling child?
For as often as I speak against him,
I do remember him still.
abTherefore my heart ▼
▼Hebrew bowels
yearns for him;I will surely have mercy on him,
declares the Lord.
