20 Is (A)Ephraim My dear son?
Is he a delightful child?
Indeed, as often as I have spoken against him,
I certainly still remember him;
Therefore My [a](B)inmost being yearns for him;

Place for yourself guideposts;
(D)Set your heart to the highway,
The way by which you went.
(E)Return, O virgin of Israel,
Return to these your cities.

O (F)faithless daughter?
For Yahweh has created a new thing in the earth—
A [b]woman will encompass a man.”
