Jeremiah 3:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 Go and cry these words toward [a]the North, and say, Thou disobedient Israel, return, saith the Lord, and I will not let my wrath fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not always keep mine anger.
13 But know thine iniquity: for thou hast rebelled against the Lord thy God, and hast [b]scattered thy ways to the strange gods under every green tree, but ye would not obey my voice, saith the Lord.
14 O ye disobedient children, turn again, saith the Lord, for I am your Lord, and I will take you one of a city, and two of a tribe, and will bring you to Zion,

Jeremiah 3:12-14
New International Version
12 Go, proclaim this message toward the north:(A)
“‘Return,(B) faithless(C) Israel,’ declares the Lord,
‘I will frown on you no longer,
for I am faithful,’(D) declares the Lord,
‘I will not be angry(E) forever.
13 Only acknowledge(F) your guilt—
you have rebelled against the Lord your God,
you have scattered your favors to foreign gods(G)
under every spreading tree,(H)
and have not obeyed(I) me,’”
declares the Lord.
14 “Return,(J) faithless people,” declares the Lord, “for I am your husband.(K) I will choose you—one from a town and two from a clan—and bring you to Zion.
