24:003:017 At that time they shall call Jerusalem
the throne of the lord;
and
all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name
of
the
lord, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk
any more after
the
imagination of their evil heart.
24:003:018 In those days the house of Judah shall
walk with the house of
Israel,
and they shall come together out of the land of the
north
to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto
your
fathers.
24:003:019 But I said, How shall I put thee among
the children, and give
thee
a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of
nations?
and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt
not
turn away from me.
24:003:020 Surely as a wife treacherously departeth
from her husband, so
have
ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel,
saith
the
lord.
24:003:021 A voice was heard upon the high places,
weeping and
supplications
of the children of Israel: for they have
perverted
their way, and they have forgotten the lord their
God.
24:003:022 Return, ye backsliding children, and I
will heal your
backslidings.
Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the lord
our
God.
24:003:023 Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from
the hills, and from
the
multitude of mountains: truly in the lord
our God is the
salvation
of Israel.
24:003:024 For shame hath devoured the labour of our
fathers from our
youth;
their flocks and their herds, their sons and their
daughters.
24:003:025 We lie down in our shame, and our confusion
covereth us: for
we
have sinned against the lord our God, we and our
fathers,
from
our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the
voice
of the lord our God.
24:004:001 If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the
lord, return unto me:
and
if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my
sight,
then
shalt thou not remove.
24:004:002 And thou shalt swear, The lord liveth,
in truth, in judgment,
and
in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves
in
him, and in him shall they glory.
24:004:003 For thus saith the lord to the men
of Judah and Jerusalem,
Break
up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.
24:004:004 Circumcise yourselves to the lord,
and take away the foreskins
of
your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem:
lest
my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can
quench
it, because of the evil of your doings.
