Jeremiah 31:18

« Jer 30Jer 31Jer 32 »

I have surely heard Ephraim ^agrieving,

‘You have ^bchastised me, and I was chastised,

Like an untrained ^ccalf;

^dCause me to return that I may return,

For You are Yahweh my God.

Jeremiah 31:19

« Jer 30Jer 31Jer 32 »

For after I turned away, I ^arepented;

And after I was instructed, I ^bslapped my thigh;

I was ^cashamed and also dishonored

Because I bore the reproach of my youth.’

Jeremiah 3:21-25

« Jer 2Jer 3Jer 4 »

A voice is heard on the ^abare heights,

The weeping and the supplications of the sons of Israel;

Because they have perverted their way,

They have ^bforgotten Yahweh their God.

¹“Return, O faithless sons;

^aI will heal your faithlessness.”

“Behold, we come to You,

For You are Yahweh our God.

Surely, ^athe hills are a lie,

A tumult on the mountains.

Surely in ^bYahweh our God

Is the salvation of Israel.

24 “But ^athe shameful thing has devoured the labor of our fathers since our youth, their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters. 25 Let us lie down in our ^ashame, and let our dishonor cover us; for we have sinned against Yahweh our God, we and our fathers, ^bfrom our youth even to this day. And we have not listened to the voice of Yahweh our God.”

Zechariah 12:10

Mourning for the Pierced One

10 “And I will ^apour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem ¹the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have ^bpierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one ^cmourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn.
