The verse 12 is found in chapter 3 of Jeremiah. Judah receives a warning by observing the unfaithfulness of northern Israel, but it is also called to return. The future includes a restoration in which the former kingdoms will be reunited and Jerusalem will be called Yahweh’s throne. The promise transcends the historical division between Israel and Judah and points toward a reunited community under God.

Va’, e grida queste parole verso Aquilone, e di’: Convertiti, o sviata Israele, dice il Signore; ed io non farò cadere l’ira mia addosso a voi; perciocchè io son benigno, dice il Signore; io non guardo l’ira mia in perpetuo.
Vai, pois, e apregoa estas palavras para o lado norte, e dize: Volta, ó rebelde Israel, diz o SENHOR, e não farei cair a minha ira sobre ti; porque misericordioso sou, diz o SENHOR, e não conservarei para sempre a minha ira.
