Jeremiah 3:15-17
New English Translation

15 I will give you leaders[a] who will be faithful to me.[b] They will lead you with knowledge and insight. 16 In those days, your population will greatly increase[c] in the land. At that time,” says the Lord, “people will no longer talk about having the ark[d] that contains the Lord’s covenant with us.[e] They will not call it to mind, remember it, or miss it. No, that will not be done anymore![f] 17 At that time the city of Jerusalem will be called the Lord’s throne. All nations will gather there in Jerusalem to honor the Lord’s name.[g] They will no longer follow the stubborn inclinations of their own evil hearts.[h]
