Jeremiah 31:20

Is ^aEphraim My dear son?

Is he a delightful child?

Indeed, as often as I have spoken against him,

I certainly still remember him;

Therefore My ¹^binmost being yearns for him;

I will surely ^chave compassion on him,” declares Yahweh.

Hosea 11:8

^aHow can I give you up, O Ephraim?

How can I surrender you, O Israel?

How can I give you over to be like ^bAdmah?

How can I make you like ^bZeboiim?

My heart is turned over within Me;

¹All My compassions are stirred.
