Jeremiah 3:22-24
International Standard Version
God Calls for Repentance
22 “Turn back, unfaithful people,[a]
and I’ll heal your unfaithfulness.”
Israel Replies
“Look, we’re coming to you
because you are the Lord our God.
23 Truly the hills are a deception,[b]
and the mountains[c] are confusion.
Truly, in the Lord our God is Israel’s salvation.”
24 Since our youth the false gods have consumed
the products of our ancestors’ hard work,
their sheep and their cattle,
their sons and their daughters.

New International Version
“Yes, we will come to you,
for you are the Lord our God.
23 Surely the idolatrous commotion on the hills(D)
and mountains is a deception;
surely in the Lord our God
is the salvation(E) of Israel.
24 From our youth shameful(F) gods have consumed
the fruits of our ancestors’ labor—
their flocks and herds,
their sons and daughters.
