JEREMIAH 31
"I've heard the contrition of Ephriam.
Yes, I've heard it clearly,saying,
You trained me well.
You broke me, a wild yearling horse, to the saddle.
Now put me, trained and obedient, to use.
You are my God.
After those years of running loose, I repented.
After you trained me to obedience,
I was ashamed of my past, my wild, unruly past.
Humiliated, I beat on my chest.
Will I ever live this down?"
"Oh! Ephraim is my dear, dear son,
my child in who I take pleasure!
Every time I mention his name,
my heart bursts with longing for him!
Everything in me cries out for him.
Softly and tenderly I wait for him."
God's Decree.
