Jeremiah 3:6-13

6Now in the daysH3117 of KingH4428 JosiahH2977, the LORDH3068 saidH559 to meH413, “Have you seenH7200 whatH834 faithlessH4878 IsraelH3478 has doneH6213? SheH1931 has gone upH1980 onH5921 everyH3605 highH1364 H413 hillH2022 and underH8478 everyH3605 greenH7488 treeH6086 to prostitute herselfH2181 thereH8033. 7I thoughtH559 that afterH310 she had doneH6213 allH3605 these thingsH428, she would returnH7725 to MeH413. But she did notH3808 returnH7725, and her unfaithfulH901 sisterH269 JudahH3063 saw itH7200.

8She sawH7200 1 thatH3588 becauseH5921 H3605 H182 faithlessH4878 IsraelH3478 had committed adulteryH5003, I gaveH5414 herH853 a certificateH5612 of divorceH3748 and sent her awayH7971. YetH413 that unfaithfulH898 sisterH269 JudahH3063 had noH3808 fearH3372 H1931 and prostituted herselfH2181 as wellH1571. 9Indifferent toH1961 H6963 her own infidelityH2184, Israel had defiledH2610 the landH776 and committed adulteryH5003 with stonesH68 and treesH6086. 10YetH1571 in spite of allH3605 thisH2063, her unfaithfulH901 sisterH269 JudahH3063 did notH3808 returnH7725 to MeH413 with allH3605 her heartH3820, but onlyH3588 H518 in pretenseH8267,” declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.

11And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to meH413, “FaithlessH4878 IsraelH3478 has shown herselfH5315 more righteousH6663 than unfaithfulH898 JudahH3063. 12GoH1980, proclaimH7121 thisH428 messageH1697 toward the northH6828 :

‘ReturnH7725, O faithlessH4878 IsraelH3478,’ declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.‘I will no longerH3808 look on you with angerH5307 H6440,forH3588 IH589 am mercifulH2623,’ declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.‘I will notH3808 be angryH5201 foreverH5769.13OnlyH389 acknowledgeH3045 your guiltH5771,thatH3588 you have rebelledH6586 against the LORDH3068 your GodH430.You have scatteredH6340 your favorsH1870 to foreignH2114 godsunderH8478 everyH3605 greenH7488 treeH6086and have notH3808 obeyedH8085 My voiceH6963,’”declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.
