14 For Jehovah will show mercy to Jacob,+ and he will again choose Israel.+ He will settle them* in their land,+ and the foreign residents will join them and attach themselves to the house of Jacob.+

20 “Is Eʹphra·im not a precious son to me, a beloved child?+

For as often as I speak against him, I do remember him still.

That is why my emotions* are stirred for him.+

And I will surely have pity on him,” declares Jehovah.+
