Jeremiah 3:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the [a]North, into the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.
19 But I said, How did I take thee for children, and give thee a pleasant land, even the glorious heritage of the armies of the heathen, and say, Thou shalt call me, saying, My father, and shall not turn from me?
20 But as a woman rebelleth against her [b]husband: so have ye rebelled against me, O house of Israel, saith 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.
