Jeremiah 3:4-7

4Yet you say to me, ‘Father, you have been my guide since my youth.

5Surely you won’t be angry forever! Surely you can forget about it!’ So you talk, but you keep on doing all the evil you can.”

6During the reign of King Josiah, the Lord said to me, “Have you seen what fickle Israel has done? Like a wife who commits adultery, Israel has worshiped other gods on every hill and under every green tree.

7I thought, ‘After she has done all this, she will return to me.’ But she did not return, and her faithless sister Judah saw this.
