Jeremiah 31:19 in 5 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

19After I strayed,

I repented;

after I came to understand,

I beat my breast.

I was ashamed and humiliated

because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’

19‘For after I turned back, I repented;

And after I was instructed, I slapped my thigh;

I was ashamed and also humiliated

Because I bore the shame of my youth.’

19‘After I turned away [from You], I repented;

After I was instructed, I struck my thigh [in remorse];

I was ashamed and even humiliated

Because I carried the disgrace of my youth [as a nation].’

19After I returned, I repented;

and after I was instructed, I struck my thigh in grief.

I was ashamed and humiliated

because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’

19After we wandered away from you,

we turned away from our sins.

After we learned our lesson,

we beat our chests in sorrow.

We were full of shame.

What we did when we were young brought dishonor on us.’
