Jeremiah 31:17-21 Yea, even thy posterity shall have consolation in this, sayeth the LORD, that thy children shall come again into their own land.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ Yea, even thy posterity shall have consolation in this, sayeth the LORD, that thy children shall come again into their own land. ¹⁸ Moreover, I heard Ephraim, that was led away captive, complain on this manner, 'O LORD, thou hast corrected me, and thy chastening have I received, as an untamed calf. Convert thou me, and I shall be converted, for thou art my LORD God. ¹⁹ Yea, as soon as thou turnest me, I shall reform myself: and when I understand, I shall smite upon my thigh. For verily I have committed shameful things: O let my youth bear this reproof and confusion.' ²⁰ Upon this complaint, I thought thus by myself: Is not Ephraim my dear son? Is he not the child, with whom I have had all mirth and pastime? For since the time that I first communed with him, I have him ever in remembrance: therefore my very heart driveth me unto him; gladly and lovingly will I have mercy upon him, sayeth the LORD. ²¹ Get the watchman, provide teachers for thee: set thine heart upon the right way, that thou shouldest walk, and turn again, O thou daughter of Israel; turn again to these cities of thine.
