Jeremiah 3:1-9

1God 1saysH559, “2IfH2005 a husbandH376 divorcesH7971 his wifeH802 And she leavesH1980H4480 him And becomesH1961 anotherH312 man’sH376 wife, Will he returnH7725 to her againH570? Would that landH776 not be completelyH2610 defiledH2610? But you 3are a prostituteH2181 with manyH7227 4loversH7453; Yet you 5turnH7725 to Me,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.2“RaiseH5375 your eyesH5869 to the 6bareH8205 heightsH8205 and seeH7200; WhereH375 have you not been violatedH7693? You have 7satH3427 for them by the roadsH1870 Like an ArabH6163 in the desertH4057, And you have 8defiledH2610 a landH776 With your prostitutionH2183 and your wickednessH7463.3Therefore the 9showersH7241 have been withheldH4513, And there has beenH1961 noH3808 springH4456 rainH4456. Yet you hadH1961 a 10prostitute’sH802H2181 11foreheadH4696; You refusedH3985 to be ashamedH3637.4Have you not just nowH6258 calledH7121 to Me, ‘12My FatherH1, You are the 13friendH441 of my 14youthH5271?515Will He beH5201 angryH5201 foreverH5769, OrH518 keepH8104 His anger to the endH5331?’ BeholdH2009, you have spokenH1696 And have doneH6213 evilH7451 thingsH7451, And you have 16hadH3201 your own wayH3201.”

6Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to me in the daysH3117 of KingH4428 JosiahH2977, “Have you seenH7200 whatH834 faithlessH4878 IsraelH3478 didH6213? She 17wentH1980 up on everyH3605 highH1364 hillH2022 and underH8478 everyH3605 leafyH7488 treeH6086, and she prostitutedH2181 herself thereH8033. 7Yet 18I 19thoughtH559, ‘AfterH310 she has doneH6213 allH3605 theseH428 thingsH428 she will returnH7725 to Me’; but she did not returnH7725, and her 20treacherousH901 sisterH269 JudahH3063 sawH7200 it. 8And I sawH7200 that for allH3605 the 21adulteriesH5003 of faithlessH4878 IsraelH3478, I had sentH7971 her awayH7971 and 22givenH5414 her a certificateH5612 of divorceH3748, yet her 23treacherousH898 sisterH269 JudahH3063 did not fearH3372; but she wentH1980 and prostitutedH2181 herself alsoH1571. 9And becauseH4480 of the thoughtlessnessH7032 of her prostitutionH2184, she 24defiledH2610 the landH776 and committedH5003 25adulteryH5003 with 26stonesH68 and treesH6086.
