Jeremiah 3:12

Context

The Lord Calls on Israel and Judah to Repent

3:12 “Go and shout this message to my people in the countries in the north.¹ Tell them,

‘Come back to me, wayward Israel,’ says the Lord.

‘I will not continue to look on you with displeasure.²

For I am merciful,’ says the Lord.

‘I will not be angry with you forever.

[3:12] ¹tn Heb “Go and proclaim these words to the north.” The translation assumes that the message is directed toward the exiles of northern Israel who have been scattered in the provinces of Assyria to the north.

[3:12] ²tn Heb “I will not cause my face to fall on you.”
