Jeremiah 31:20

Is Ephraim my dear son ? Is he my darling child ? For as often as I speak against him, I do remember him still . Therefore my heart yearns for him; I will surely have mercy on him, declares the Lord .

Is not Ephraim my dear son, the child in whom I delight? Though I often speak against him, I still remember him. Therefore my heart yearns for him; I have great compassion for him,” declares the Lord.

Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spake against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the Lord.
