Jeremiah 3:22

RepentanceSickness and healingSalvation

20 But as a woman may betray her husband, so you have betrayed Me, O house of Israel,” declares the LORD.

21 A voice is heard on the barren heights, the children of Israel weeping and begging for mercy, because they have perverted their ways and forgotten the LORD their God.

“Return, O faithless children, and I will heal your faithlessness.” “Here we are. We come to You, for You are the LORD our God.

23 Surely deception comes from the hills, and commotion from the mountains. Surely the salvation of Israel is in the LORD our God.

24 From our youth, that shameful god has consumed what our fathers have worked for— their flocks and herds, their sons and daughters.
