Expanded Bible

¹⁴ “·Come back [Return] to me, you ·unfaithful [apostate] children,” says the Lord, “because I am your master. I will take one person from every city and two from every ·family group [clan], and I will bring you to ·Jerusalem [^LZion; ^Cthe location of the Temple]. ¹⁵ Then I will give you ·new rulers [^Lshepherds] ·who will be faithful to me [^Laccording to my heart], who will ·lead [shepherd] you with knowledge and ·understanding [insight]. ¹⁶ In those days ·there will be many of you [^Lyou will multiply and be fruitful] in the land,” says the Lord. “At that time people will no longer say, ‘The Ark of the ·Agreement [^LCovenant; Testimony; Treaty; Ex. 25:10].’ They won’t remember it or miss it or make another one.
