Jeremiah 31:21 in context

  1. 19Surely after that I was turned.
    I repented.
    After that I was instructed.
    I struck my thigh.
    I was ashamed, yes, even confounded,
    because I bore the reproach of my youth.’
  2. 20Is Ephraim my dear son?
    Is he a darling child?
    For as often as I speak against him,
    I still earnestly remember him.
    therefore my heart yearns for him.
    I will surely have mercy on him,” says Yahweh.
  3. 21“Set up road signs.
    Make guideposts.
    Set your heart toward the highway,
    even the way by which you went.
    Turn again, virgin of Israel.
    Turn again to these your cities.
  4. 22How long will you go here and there,
    you backsliding daughter?
    For Yahweh has created a new thing in the earth:
    a woman will encompass a man.”
