Jeremiah 3:4-7

4Will you not from this time cry to Me, ‘My Father, You are the guide of my youth?

5Will He remain angry forever? Will He keep it to the end?’ Behold, you have spoken and done evil things, As you were able.”

6The Lord said also to me in the days of Josiah the king: “Have you seen what backsliding Israel has done? She has gone up on every high mountain and under every green tree, and there played the harlot.

7And I said, after she had done all these things, ‘Return to Me.’ But she did not return. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
