ગુજરાતીયર્મિયા ૩૧:૧૮
“નિશ્ચે મેં એફ્રાઇમને પોતાના સંબંધમાં વિલાપ કરતો સાંભળ્યો છે; ‘તમે મને સજા કરી છે; પણ જેમ વાછરડાને ઝૂંસરી માટે પલોટવો પડે છે તેમ મને પણ સજા થઈ છે. મને તમારી તરફ પાછો વાળો અને પુન:સ્થાપિત કરો, કેમ કે ફક્ત તમે જ મારા યહોવાહ ઈશ્વર છો.
हिन्दीयिर्मयाह ३१:१८
निश्चय मैंने एप्रैम को ये बातें कहकर विलाप करते सुना है, ‘तूने मेरी ताड़ना की, और मेरी ताड़ना ऐसे बछड़े की सी हुई जो निकाला न गया हो; परन्तु अब तू मुझे फेर, तब मैं फिरूँगा, क्योंकि तू मेरा परमेश्वर है।

In context

16The LORD says: “Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears, for your work will be rewarded,” says the LORD. “They will come again from the land of the enemy.

17There is hope for your latter end,” says the LORD. “Your children will come again to their own territory.

18“I have surely heard Ephraim grieving thus, ‘You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as an untrained calf. Turn me, and I will be turned, for you are the LORD my God.

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.’

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 the LORD.
