Jeremiah 3:20-22
1599 Geneva Bible
20 But as a woman rebelleth against her [a]husband: so have ye rebelled against me, O house of Israel, saith the Lord.
21 [b]A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping, and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and forgotten the Lord their God.
22 O ye disobedient children, return and I will heal your rebellions. [c]Behold, we come unto thee, for thou art the Lord our God.
