“‘Return!
O faithless children!’
Says Yahweh.
‘I am your master.
I will take you,
One from a city,
Two from a family.
I will bring you to Zion.’”
Yahweh, via Jeremiah, wants his faithless children to return. He is their master. He was going to take 1 from every city and 2 from every family. He would bring them to Jerusalem, Zion, because he wanted them to return home.
