Jeremiah 3:18-20
English Standard Version
18 (A)In those days the house of Judah shall join the house of Israel, and together they shall come from the land (B)of the north to (C)the land that I gave your fathers for a heritage.
19 “‘I said,
How I would set you among my sons,
and give you a pleasant land,
a heritage most beautiful of all nations.
And I thought you would (D)call me, My Father,
and would not turn from following me.
20 (E)Surely, as a treacherous wife leaves her husband,
so have you been treacherous to me, O house of Israel,
declares the Lord.’”
Jeremiah 3:18-20
New International Version
18 In those days the people of Judah will join the people of Israel,(A) and together(B) they will come from a northern(C) land to the land(D) I gave your ancestors as an inheritance.
19 “I myself said,
“‘How gladly would I treat you like my children
and give you a pleasant land,(E)
the most beautiful inheritance(F) of any nation.’
I thought you would call me ‘Father’(G)
and not turn away from following me.
20 But like a woman unfaithful to her husband,
so you, Israel, have been unfaithful(H) to me,”
declares the Lord.
