20 (A)Is Ephraim my dear son?
    (B)Is he my darling child?
For as often as I speak against him,
    I do remember him still.
(C)Therefore my heart[a] yearns for him;
    I will surely have mercy on him,
declares the Lord.
21 (D)“Set up road markers for yourself;
    make yourself guideposts;
(E)consider well the highway,
    (F)the road by which you went.
Return, O virgin Israel,
    return to these your cities.
22 (G)How long will you waver,
    (H)O faithless daughter?
For the Lord has created a new thing on the earth:
    a woman encircles a man.”
