'Return, faithless Israel, says the LORD. I will not look on you with anger, for I am merciful, says the LORD, I will not be angry forever. 13 Just acknowledge your sin, that you have rebelled against the LORD your God, and have scattered your favors to the strangers under every green tree, and you have not obeyed my voice,'" says the LORD. 14 "Come back, O faithless children," says the LORD; "for I am your master and I will bring you back, one from a city, and two from a clan, I will bring you to Zion. 15 I will give you shepherds after my own heart who will shepherd you with knowledge and understanding. 16 It will come to pass, when your numbers have multiplied and increased in the land, in those days," says the LORD, "they will no longer say, 'The ark of the covenant of the LORD.' It will not even come to mind or be remembered. It will not be missed and another one will not be made. 17 At that time they will call Jerusalem 'The Throne of the LORD,' and all the nations will be gathered to Jerusalem to honor the name of the LORD. They will no longer follow after the stubbornness of their own evil hearts. 18 In those days the house of Judah will walk with the house of Israel, and they will both return from the land of the north to the land that I gave your forefathers for an inheritance." 19 Then I said, "How I love to treat you like one of my own children and give you a pleasant land, a beautiful heritage of all the nations! Then I thought, 'You would call me My Father,' and would not turn away from following me. 20 But as an unfaithful wife leaves her husband, so you have been unfaithful to me, O house of Israel," says the LORD. 21 A voice is heard on the bare hilltops, the weeping and pleading of the children of Israel, because they have perverted their way; they have forgotten the LORD their God. 22 Return, O faithless children; I will heal your unfaithfulness.
