14. Turn, O rebellious sons, said the Lord; for I am your Lord, and I will take you one of a city and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:
15. And I will give you pastors according to my heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
16. And it shall come to pass, when ye are multiplied and increased in the land; in those days, said the Lord, they shall no longer say, The ark of the covenant of the Lord: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more.
17. At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord; and all the Gentiles shall congregate unto it in the name of the Lord in Jerusalem; neither shall they walk any more after the hardness of their evil heart.
18. In those times they shall go out from the house of Judah unto the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north wind to the land which I caused your fathers to inherit.
19. But I said, How shall I place thee as sons and give thee the desirable land, the heritage that the hosts of Gentiles desire? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father, and shalt not turn away from following me.
20. Surely as the woman breaks the faith of her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, said the Lord.
21. A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping of the supplications of the sons of Israel; for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the Lord their God.
22. Return, ye rebellious sons, and I will heal your rebellion. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the Lord our God.
23. Truly the hills are vanity, the multitude of mountains; truly in the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel.
24. For shame has devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth: their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
