Jeremiah 3:19-22
Jeremiah 3:19-22 TPT
“I, YAHWEH, said: “ ‘What bliss would fill my heart to treat you like an honored son! What joy would fill my heart to give you a land of delights, the most glorious and beautiful inheritance among the nations.’ I longed for the day when you would call me ‘Father’ and not turn away from me. Instead, as a treacherous wife betrays her husband, so, you, nation of Israel, have betrayed me. I, YAHWEH, have spoken.” I hear the sound of voices echoing from the barren hills, the bitter weeping of the sons of Israel pleading for mercy because they lost their moral way and have forgotten YAHWEH their God. “Come back to me, you unfaithful ones! Let me heal your waywardness and restore your faithfulness.”
