20 Is not Ephraim my dear son,
    the child(A) in whom I delight?
Though I often speak against him,
    I still remember(B) him.
Therefore my heart yearns for him;
    I have great compassion(C) for him,”
declares the Lord.

21 “Set up road signs;
    put up guideposts.(D)
Take note of the highway,(E)
    the road that you take.
Return,(F) Virgin(G) Israel,
    return to your towns.
22 How long will you wander,(H)
    unfaithful(I) Daughter Israel?
The Lord will create a new thing(J) on earth—
    the woman will return to[a](K) the man.”
