Jeremiah 3:6-14

6Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to me in the daysH3117 of JosiahH2977 the kingH4428, “Have you seenH7200 whatH834 faithlessH4878 IsraelH3478 didH6213? She 1wentH1980 up on everyH3605 highH1364 hillH2022 and underH8478 everyH3605 greenH7488 treeH6086, and she was a harlotH2181 thereH8033. 72I 3thoughtH559, ‘AfterH310 she has doneH6213 allH3605 theseH428 thingsH428 she will returnH7725 to Me’; but she did not returnH7725, and her 4treacherousH901 sisterH269 JudahH3063 sawH7200 it. 8And I sawH7200 that for allH3605 the adulteriesH5003 of faithlessH4878 IsraelH3478, I had sentH7971 her awayH7971 and 5givenH5414 her a writH5612 of divorceH3748, yet her 6treacherousH898 sisterH269 JudahH3063 did not fearH3372; but she wentH1980 and was a harlotH2181 alsoH1571. 9BecauseH4480 of the lightnessH7032 of her harlotryH2184, she 7pollutedH2610 the landH776 and committedH5003 adulteryH5003 with 8stonesH68 and treesH6086. 10YetH1571 in spite of allH3605 thisH2088 her treacherousH901 sisterH269 JudahH3063 did not returnH7725 to Me with allH3605 her heartH3820, but ratherH3588H518 in 9deceptionH8267,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.

11And the LordH3068 saidH559 to me, “10FaithlessH4878 IsraelH3478 has provedH6663 herselfH5315 moreH4480 righteousH6663 thanH4480 treacherousH898 JudahH3063. 12GoH1980 and proclaimH7121 theseH428 wordsH1697 toward the northH6828 and sayH559, ‘11ReturnH7725, faithlessH4878 IsraelH3478,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068; ‘12I will not 13lookH5307 upon you in anger. For I am 14graciousH2623,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068; ‘I will not be angryH5201 foreverH5769.13OnlyH389 1516acknowledgeH3045 your iniquityH5771, That you have transgressedH6586 against the LordH3068 your GodH430 And have 17scatteredH6340 your 18favorsH1870 to the strangersH2114 19underH8478 everyH3605 greenH7488 treeH6086, And you have not obeyedH8085 My voiceH6963,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068.14‘ReturnH7725, O faithlessH7726 sonsH1121,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068; ‘For I am a 20masterH1166 to you, And I will takeH3947 you oneH259 from a cityH5892 and twoH8147 from a familyH4940, And 21I will bringH935 you to ZionH6726.’
