Jeremiah 3:21

A Call For Repentance

²⁰ Surely as a wife treacherously departs from her husband, so have you dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, says the LORD. ²¹ A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the LORD their God. ²² Return, you backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto you; for you are the LORD our God.
