Jeremiah 3:12-14

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

Return, faithless Israel,
says the Lord.
I will not look on you in anger,
    for I am merciful,
says the Lord;
I will not be angry for ever.
¹³ Only acknowledge your guilt,
    that you have rebelled against the Lord your God,
and scattered your favours among strangers under every green tree,
    and have not obeyed my voice,
says the Lord.
¹⁴ Return, O faithless children,
says the Lord,
    for I am your master;
I will take you, one from a city and two from a family,
    and I will bring you to Zion.
