Jeremiah 3:19-21
Legacy Standard Bible
19 “Then I said,
‘How I would set you among [a]My sons
And give you a pleasant land,
The most (A)beautiful inheritance of the nations!’
And I said, ‘You shall call Me, (B)“My Father,”
And not turn away from following Me.’
20 Surely, as a woman treacherously departs from her [b]lover,
So you have (C)dealt treacherously with Me,
O house of Israel,” declares Yahweh.
21 A voice is heard on the (D)bare heights,
The weeping and the supplications of the sons of Israel;
Because they have perverted their way,
They have (E)forgotten Yahweh their God.
