Jeremiah 3:18-20
New King James Version
18 “In those days (A)the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of (B)the north to (C)the land that I have given as an inheritance to your fathers.
19 “But I said:
‘How can I put you among the children
And give you (D)a pleasant land,
A beautiful heritage of the hosts of nations?’
“And I said:
‘You shall call Me, (E)“My Father,”
And not turn away from Me.’
20 Surely, as a wife treacherously departs from her [a]husband,
So (F)have you dealt treacherously with Me,
O house of Israel,” says the Lord.
