Jeremiah:31:18-20
Seeker Overlay ON
* "
I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself : "
You have chastised me ,
and I was chastised ,
Like an untrained bull ;
Restore me ,
and I will return ,
For You are the LORD my God .
*
Surely ,
after my turning ,
I repented ;
And after I was instructed ,
I struck myself on the thigh ;
I was ashamed ,
yes ,
even humiliated ,
Because I bore the reproach of my youth .'
*
Is Ephraim My dear son ?
Is he a pleasant child ?
For though I spoke against him ,
I earnestly remember him still ;
Therefore My heart yearns for him ;
I will surely have mercy on him ,
says the LORD .
