Jeremiah 31:17-18

31:17 Indeed, there is hope for your posterity.

Your children will return to their own territory.

I, the Lord, affirm it!

31:18 I have indeed heard the people of Israel say mournfully,

‘We were like a calf untrained to the yoke.

You disciplined us and we learned from it.

Let us come back to you and we will do so,

for you are the Lord our God.
