Jeremiah 3:12-25

3:12

Go
<01980> (8800)

and proclaim
<07121> (8804)

these words
<01697>

toward the north
<06828>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)_,

Return
<07725> (8798)_,

thou backsliding
<04878>

Israel
<03478>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_;

[and] I will not cause mine anger
<06440>

to fall
<05307> (8686)

upon you: for I [am] merciful
<02623>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

[and] I will not keep
<05201> (8799)

[anger] for ever
<05769>_.

3:13

Only acknowledge
<03045> (8798)

thine iniquity
<05771>_,

that thou hast transgressed
<06586> (8804)

against the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

and hast scattered
<06340> (8762)

thy ways
<01870>

to the strangers
<02114> (8801)

under every green
<07488>

tree
<06086>_,

and ye have not obeyed
<08085> (8804)

my voice
<06963>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

3:14

Turn
<07725> (8798)_,

O backsliding
<07726>

children
<01121>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_;

for I am married
<01166> (8804)

unto you: and I will take
<03947> (8804)

you one
<0259>

of a city
<05892>_,

and two
<08147>

of a family
<04940>_,

and I will bring
<0935> (8689)

you to Zion
<06726>_:

3:15

And I will give
<05414> (8804)

you pastors
<07462> (8802)

according to mine heart
<03820>_,

which shall feed
<07462> (8804)

you with knowledge
<01844>

and understanding
<07919> (8687)_.

3:16

And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied
<07235> (8799)

and increased
<06509> (8804)

in the land
<0776>_,

in those days
<03117>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

they shall say
<0559> (8799)

no more, The ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

neither shall it come
<05927> (8799)

to mind
<03820>_:

neither shall they remember
<02142> (8799)

it; neither shall they visit
<06485> (8799)

[it]; neither shall [that] be done
<06213> (8735)

any more. {come to mind: Heb. come upon the heart} {that...: or, it be magnified}

3:17

At that time
<06256>

they shall call
<07121> (8799)

Jerusalem
<03389>

the throne
<03678>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

and all the nations
<01471>

shall be gathered
<06960> (8738)

unto it, to the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

to Jerusalem
<03389>_:

neither shall they walk
<03212> (8799)

any more after
<0310>

the imagination
<08307>

of their evil
<07451>

heart
<03820>_.

{imagination: or, stubbornness}

3:18

In those days
<03117>

the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>

shall walk
<03212> (8799)

with the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and they shall come
<0935> (8799)

together
<03162>

out of the land
<0776>

of the north
<06828>

to the land
<0776>

that I have given for an inheritance
<05157> (8689)

unto your fathers
<01>_.

{with: or, to} {given...: or, caused your fathers to possess}

3:19

But I said
<0559> (8804)_,

How shall I put
<07896> (8799)

thee among the children
<01121>_,

and give
<05414> (8799)

thee a pleasant
<02532>

land
<0776>_,

a goodly
<06643>

heritage
<05159>

of the hosts
<06635>

of nations
<01471>_?

and I said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thou shalt call
<07121> (8799)

me, My father
<01>_;

and shalt not turn away
<07725> (8799)

from me
<0310>_.

{from me: Heb. from after me} {a goodly...: Heb. an heritage of glory, or, beauty} {pleasant...: Heb. land of desire}

3:20

Surely
<0403>

[as] a wife
<0802>

treacherously
<0898> (8804)

departeth from her husband
<07453>_,

so have ye dealt treacherously
<0898> (8804)

with me, O house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

{husband: Heb. friend}

3:21

A voice
<06963>

was heard
<08085> (8738)

upon the high places
<08205>_,

weeping
<01065>

[and] supplications
<08469>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_:

for they have perverted
<05753> (8689)

their way
<01870>_,

[and] they have forgotten
<07911> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_.

3:22

Return
<07725> (8798)_,

ye backsliding
<07726>

children
<01121>_,

[and] I will heal
<07495> (8799)

your backslidings
<04878>_.

Behold, we come
<0857> (8804)

unto thee; for thou [art] the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_.

3:23

Truly
<0403>

in vain
<08267>

[is salvation hoped for] from the hills
<01389>_,

[and from] the multitude
<01995>

of mountains
<02022>_:

truly
<0403>

in the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>

[is] the salvation
<08668>

of Israel
<03478>_.

3:24

For shame
<01322>

hath devoured
<0398> (8804)

the labour
<03018>

of our fathers
<01>

from our youth
<05271>_;

their flocks
<06629>

and their herds
<01241>_,

their sons
<01121>

and their daughters
<01323>_.

3:25

We lie down
<07901> (8799)

in our shame
<01322>_,

and our confusion
<03639>

covereth
<03680> (8762)

us: for we have sinned
<02398> (8804)

against the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_,

we and our fathers
<01>_,

from our youth
<05271>

even unto this day
<03117>_,

and have not obeyed
<08085> (8804)

the voice
<06963>

of the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_.
