Jeremiah 3:21-25 NIV

[21] A cry is heard on the barren heights, the weeping and pleading of the people of Israel, because they have perverted their ways and have forgotten the LORD their God. [22] “Return, faithless people; I will cure you of backsliding.” “Yes, we will come to you, for you are the LORD our God. [23] Surely the idolatrous commotion on the hills and mountains is a deception; surely in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel. [24] From our youth shameful gods have consumed the fruits of our ancestors’ labor—their flocks and herds, their sons and daughters. [25] Let us lie down in our shame, and let our disgrace cover us. We have sinned against the LORD our God, both we and our ancestors; from our youth till this day we have not obeyed the LORD our God.”
