Jeremiah 3:12 BBE

¹⁰  But for all this, her false sister Judah has not come back to me with all her heart, but with deceit, says the Lord.

¹¹  And the Lord said to me, Israel in her turning away is seen to be more upright than false Judah.

¹²  Go, and give out these words to the north, and say, Come back, O Israel, though you have been turned away from me, says the Lord; my face will not be against you in wrath: for I am full of mercy, says the Lord, I will not be angry for ever.

¹³  Only be conscious of your sin, the evil you have done against the Lord your God; you have gone with strange men under every branching tree, giving no attention to my voice, says the Lord.

¹⁴  Come back, O children who are turned away, says the Lord; for I am a husband to you, and I will take you, one from a town and two from a family, and will make you come to Zion;
