Jeremiah 3:19-25 - True Repentance
19 And I said, How shall I place thee among the sons, and I will give to thee a land of desire, an inheritance of glory of the armies of nations? And saying, Ye shall call to me, My father; and ye shall rot turn back from after me. 20 Surely a wife acting faithlessly by her friend, so ye acted faithlessly against me, O house of Israel, says Jehovah.
21 A voice was heard upon the naked hills, weepings, supplications of the sons of Israel: for they perverted their way, they forgot Jehovah their God. 22 Turn back, ye sons turning away; I will heal your turnings-away. Behold, we came to thee; for thou Jehovah our God. 23 Truly in vain from the hills; the multitude of mountains; truly in Jehovah our God the salvation of Israel. 24 And shame consumed the labor of our fathers from our youth; their sheep and their herd, their sons and their daughters. 25 We shall lie down in our shame, and our reproach will cover us: for we sinned against Jehovah our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even to this day, and we heard not to the voice of Jehovah our God.
