20 Aren’t the people of Ephraim my dear children?
    Aren’t they the children I take delight in?
I often speak against them.
    But I still remember them.
So my heart longs for them.
    I love them with a tender love,”
    announces the Lord.

21 The Lord says, “Put up road signs.
    Set up stones to show the way.
Look carefully for the highway.
    Look for the road you will take.
Return, people of Israel.
    Return to your towns.
22 How long will you wander,
    my people Israel, who are not faithful to me?
I will create a new thing on earth.
    The woman will return to the man.”
