פּירוש אויף ירמיהו 31:17

“I can hear Ephraim, etc.” [31:17]. I have heard Ephraim crying and lamenting. You, Holy One, have punished me with travails in the exile and I have been beaten like one beats an ox that one is teaching to plow. One must beat it very hard. So too, have I been beaten and have learned enough. I will be pious and will return to You, Holy One. You are my God.
