Jeremiah 38:20
Brenton's English Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
Ephraim is a beloved son, a pleasing child to me: for because my words are in him, I will surely remember him: therefore I made haste [to help] him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the Lord.
31:20
Is not Ephraim a precious son to Me, a delightful child? Though I often speak against him, I still remember him. Therefore My heart yearns for him (note: Hebrew My bowels yearn for him); I have great compassion for him,” declares the LORD.
