19 “But I said:

‘How can I put you among the children
And give you (A)a pleasant land,
A beautiful heritage of the hosts of nations?’

“And I said:

‘You shall call Me, (B)“My Father,”
And not turn away from Me.’
20 Surely, as a wife treacherously departs from her [a]husband,
So (C)have you dealt treacherously with Me,
O house of Israel,” says the Lord.

21 A voice was heard on (D)the desolate heights,
Weeping and supplications of the children of Israel.
For they have perverted their way;
They have forgotten the Lord their God.
