(niv)

I wrote as I did, so that when I came I would not be distressed by those who should have made me rejoice.

All night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears. (niv)

I was ashamed and humiliated because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’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. (niv)
