Jeremiah 3:1-5

1God 1says, “2If a husband divorces his wife And she leaves him And becomes another man’s wife, Will he return to her again? Would that land not be completely defiled? But you 3are a prostitute with many 4lovers; Yet you 5turn to Me,” declares the Lord.2“Raise your eyes to the 6bare heights and see; Where have you not been violated? You have 7sat for them by the roads Like an Arab in the desert, And you have 8defiled a land With your prostitution and your wickedness.3Therefore the 9showers have been withheld, And there has been no spring rain. Yet you had a 10prostitute’s 11forehead; You refused to be ashamed.4Have you not just now called to Me, ‘12My Father, You are the 13friend of my 14youth?515Will He be angry forever, Or keep His anger to the end?’ Behold, you have spoken And have done evil things, And you have 16had your own way.”
