Jeremiah 3:3-10

3Therefore the 1showersH7241 have been withheldH4513, And there has beenH1961 noH3808 springH4456 rainH4456. Yet you hadH1961 a 2prostitute’sH802H2181 3foreheadH4696; You refusedH3985 to be ashamedH3637.4Have you not just nowH6258 calledH7121 to Me, ‘4My FatherH1, You are the 5friendH441 of my 6youthH5271?57Will He beH5201 angryH5201 foreverH5769, OrH518 keepH8104 His anger to the endH5331?’ BeholdH2009, you have spokenH1696 And have doneH6213 evilH7451 thingsH7451, And you have 8hadH3201 your own wayH3201.”

6Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to me in the daysH3117 of KingH4428 JosiahH2977, “Have you seenH7200 whatH834 faithlessH4878 IsraelH3478 didH6213? She 9wentH1980 up on everyH3605 highH1364 hillH2022 and underH8478 everyH3605 leafyH7488 treeH6086, and she prostitutedH2181 herself thereH8033. 7Yet 10I 11thoughtH559, ‘AfterH310 she has doneH6213 allH3605 theseH428 thingsH428 she will returnH7725 to Me’; but she did not returnH7725, and her 12treacherousH901 sisterH269 JudahH3063 sawH7200 it. 8And I sawH7200 that for allH3605 the 13adulteriesH5003 of faithlessH4878 IsraelH3478, I had sentH7971 her awayH7971 and 14givenH5414 her a certificateH5612 of divorceH3748, yet her 15treacherousH898 sisterH269 JudahH3063 did not fearH3372; but she wentH1980 and prostitutedH2181 herself alsoH1571. 9And becauseH4480 of the thoughtlessnessH7032 of her prostitutionH2184, she 16defiledH2610 the landH776 and committedH5003 17adulteryH5003 with 18stonesH68 and treesH6086. 10YetH1571 in spite of allH3605 thisH2088 her treacherousH901 sisterH269 JudahH3063 did not returnH7725 to Me with allH3605 her heartH3820, but ratherH3588H518 in 19deceptionH8267,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.
