| I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised. … Turn Thou me, and I shall be turned; for Thou art the Lord my God. Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? … I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the Lord. (Jer. 31:18,20) |
| Behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and sown. (Ezek. 36:9) |
The work which His goodness began,
The arm of His strength will complete;
His promise is Yea and Amen,
And never was forfeited yet:
Things future, nor things that are now,
Nor all things below nor above,
Can make Him His purpose forego,
Or sever our souls from His love. |
