In context

19And I said, So be it, Lord, for thou saidst, I will set thee among children, and will give thee a choice land, the inheritance of the Almighty God of the Gentiles: and I said, Ye shall call me Father; and ye shall not turn away from me.

20But as a wife acts treacherously against her husband, so has the house of Israel dealt treacherously against me, saith the Lord.

— Jeremiah 3:21 —

22Turn, ye children that are given to turning, and I will heal your bruises. Behold, we will be thy servants; for thou art the Lord our God.

23Truly the hills and the strength of the mountains were a lying refuge: but by the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel.
