11. And the Lord said unto me, The rebellious Israel has justified her soul in comparison to the treacherous Judah.
12. Go and proclaim these words toward the north wind and say, Return, thou rebellious Israel, said the Lord and I will not cause my anger to fall upon you; for I am merciful, said the Lord, and I will not keep anger for ever.
13. Only acknowledge thine iniquity that thou hast rebelled against the Lord thy God and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not heard my voice, said the Lord.
14. Turn, O rebellious sons, said the Lord; for I am your Lord, 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 my heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
16. And it shall come to pass, when ye are multiplied and increased in the land; in those days, said the Lord, they shall no longer say, 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 Gentiles shall congregate unto it in the name of the Lord in Jerusalem; neither shall they walk any more after the hardness of their evil heart.
18. In those times they shall go out from the house of Judah unto the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north wind to the land which I caused your fathers to inherit.
19. But I said, How shall I place thee as sons and give thee the desirable land, the heritage that the hosts of Gentiles desire? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father, and shalt not turn away from following me.
