耶利米書 31:20

耶和華說：以法蓮是我的愛子嗎？ 是可喜悅的孩子嗎？ 我每逢責備他，仍深顧念他； 所以我的心腸戀慕他； 我必要憐憫他。

yē hé huá shuō ： yǐ fǎ lián shì wǒ de ài zǐ ma ？ shì kě xǐ yuè de hái zi ma ？ wǒ měi féng zé bèi tā ， réng shēn gù niàn tā ； suǒ yǐ wǒ de xīn cháng liàn mù tā ； wǒ bì yào lián mǐn tā 。

Is Ephraim my dear son? Is he a darling child? For as often as I speak against him, I still earnestly remember him. Therefore my heart yearns for him. I will surely have mercy on him,” says the LORD.
