Jeremiah 3:21

A Call For Repentance

²⁰ But like a wife who is unfaithful to her husband, so you, O house of Israel, were unfaithful me, says Jehovah. ²¹ A voice is heard on the bare heights,
The weeping and the supplications of the sons of Israel;
Because they have perverted their way,
They have forgotten the Lord their God.
²² Return you backsliding children, and I will forgive you for being unfaithful. See, we have come to you because you are Jehovah our God.
