Jeremiah 3:1-5

1"If a man divorces his wife and she goes from him and becomes another man's wife, will he return to her? Would not that land be greatly polluted? You have played the whore with many lovers; and would you return to me? declares the Lord.

2Lift up your eyes to the bare heights, and see! Where have you not been ravished? By the waysides you have sat awaiting lovers like an Arab in the wilderness. You have polluted the land with your vile whoredom.

3Therefore the showers have been withheld, and the spring rain has not come; yet you have the forehead of a whore; you refuse to be ashamed.

4Have you not just now called to me, 'My father, you are the friend of my youth—

5will he be angry forever, will he be indignant to the end?' Behold, you have spoken, but you have done all the evil that you could."
