Jeremiah 3:10-13

10And even for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not returned unto me with her whole heart, but with falsehood, saith Jehovah.

11And Jehovah said unto me, Backsliding Israel hath shewn herself more just than treacherous Judah.

12Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith Jehovah: I will not make my face dark upon you; for I am merciful, saith Jehovah; I will not keep [anger] for ever.

13Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against Jehovah thy 1God, and hast turned thy ways hither and thither to the strangers under every green tree; and ye have not hearkened to my voice, saith Jehovah.
