Jeremiah 3:13-17

Jeremiah 3:13-17

[13] Only acknowledge  thine iniquity,  that thou hast transgressed  against the LORD  thy God,  and hast scattered  thy ways  to the strangers  under every green  tree,  and ye have not obeyed  my voice,  saith  the LORD.  [14] Turn,  O backsliding  children,  saith  the LORD;  for I am married  unto you: and I will take  you one  of a city,  and two  of a family,  and I will bring  you to Zion:  [15] And I will give  you pastors  according to mine heart,  which shall feed  you with knowledge  and understanding.  [16] And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied  and increased  in the land,  in those days,  saith  the LORD,  they shall say  no more, The ark  of the covenant  of the LORD:  neither shall it come  to mind:  neither shall they remember  it; neither shall they visit  it; neither shall that be done  any more. [17] 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:  any more after  the imagination  of their evil  heart.
