Jeremiah 3

1They sayH559, IfH2005 a manH376 putH7971 awayH7971 his wifeH802, and sheH1931 goH1980 from him, and becomeH1961 anotherH312 man’sH376, shall he returnH7725 unto herH413 againH5750? shall notH3808 that landH776 be greatly pollutedH2610? But thou hast playedH2181 the harlotH2181 with manyH7227 loversH7453; yet returnH7725 againH5750 to meH413, saith the LORDH3068. 2LiftH5375 upH5375 thine eyesH5869 unto the bareH8205 heightsH8205, and seeH7200; whereH375 hast thou notH3808 been lain with? By the waysH1870 hast thou satH3427 for them, as an Arabian in the wildernessH4057; and thou hast pollutedH2610 the landH776 with thy whoredoms and with thy wickednessH7451. 3Therefore the showersH7241 have been withholden, and there hath been noH3808 latterH4456 rainH4456; yet thou hadst a whore’s foreheadH4696, thou refusedst to be ashamedH3637. 4Wilt thou notH3808 from this time cryH7121 unto meH7121, My fatherH1, thou art the guide of my youthH5271? 5Will he retain his anger for everH5769? will he keepH8104 it to the endH5331? BeholdH2009, thou hast spokenH1696 and hast doneH6213 evilH7451 things, and hast had thy wayH3201. 6Moreover the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto meH413 in the daysH3117 of JosiahH2977 the kingH4428, Hast thou seenH7200 that whichH834 backsliding IsraelH3478 hath doneH6213? sheH1931 is goneH1980 upH7200 uponH5921 everyH3605 highH1364 mountainH2022 and underH8478 everyH3605 greenH7488 treeH6086, and there hath playedH2181 the harlotH2181. 7And I saidH559 afterH310 sheH3808 had doneH6213 allH3605 theseH428 things, SheH3808 will returnH7725 unto meH413; but sheH3808 returnedH7725 notH3808: and herH3605 treacherousH901 sisterH269 JudahH3063 sawH7200 it. 8And I sawH7200, when, for this veryH898 causeH5414 that backsliding IsraelH3478 had committedH5003 adulteryH5003, I had putH5414 herH3605 awayH7971 and givenH5414 herH3605 a bill of divorcement, yet treacherousH898 JudahH3063 herH3605 sisterH269 fearedH3372 notH3808; but sheH1931 also wentH413 and playedH2181 the harlotH2181. 9And it cameH1961 to passH1961 throughH776 the lightness of herH1961 whoredom, that the landH776 was pollutedH2610, and she committedH5003 adulteryH5003 with stonesH68 and with stocks. 10And yet for allH3605 this herH3605 treacherousH901 sisterH269 JudahH3063 hath notH3808 returnedH7725 unto meH413 with herH3605 wholeH3605 heartH3820, but feignedly, saith the LORDH3068. 11And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto meH413, Backsliding IsraelH3478 hath shewn herselfH5315 moreH5315 righteousH6663 than treacherousH898 JudahH3063. 12GoH1980, and proclaimH7121 theseH428 wordsH1697 towardH6440 the northH6828, and sayH559, ReturnH7725, thou backsliding IsraelH3478, saith the LORDH3068; I will notH3808 lookH5307 in angerH6440 uponH7121 youH3588: for I am mercifulH2623, saith the LORDH3068, I will notH3808 keepH5201 angerH6440 for everH5769. 13OnlyH389 acknowledgeH3045 thine iniquityH5771, that thou hast transgressedH6586 againstH6586 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and hast scatteredH6340 thy waysH1870 to the strangersH2114 underH8478 everyH3605 greenH7488 treeH6086, and ye have notH3808 obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963, saith the LORDH3068. 14ReturnH7725, O backsliding childrenH1121, saith the LORDH3068; for I am a husbandH1166 unto youH3588: and I will takeH3947 youH3588 one of a cityH5892, and twoH8147 of a familyH4940, and I will bringH935 youH3588 to ZionH6726: 15and I will giveH5414 youH5414 shepherdsH7462 according to mine heartH3820, which shall feedH7462 youH5414 with knowledgeH1844 and understandingH3820. 16And it shall comeH1961 to passH1961, when ye be multipliedH7235 and increasedH6509 in the landH776, in thoseH1992 daysH3117, saith the LORDH3068, they shall sayH559 noH3808 moreH5750, The arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068; neitherH3808 shall it comeH1961 to mindH3820: neitherH3808 shall they rememberH2142 it; neitherH3808 shall they visitH6485 it; neitherH3808 shall that be doneH6213 anyH5750 moreH5750. 17At that time they shall callH7121 JerusalemH3389 the throneH3678 of the LORDH3068; and allH3605 the nationsH1471 shall be gatheredH6960 unto it, to the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, to JerusalemH3389: neitherH3808 shall they walk anyH3605 moreH5750 afterH310 the stubbornnessH8307 of their evilH7451 heartH3820. 18In thoseH834 daysH3117 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 shall walk with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and they shall comeH935 togetherH3162 outH5921 of the landH776 of the northH6828 to the landH776 that I gaveH5157 for an inheritanceH5157 unto your fathersH1. 19But I saidH559, HowH349 shall I putH5414 thee among the childrenH1121, and giveH5414 thee a pleasantH2532 landH776, a goodly heritageH5159 of the hostsH6635 of the nationsH1471? and I saidH559, Ye shall callH7121 meH5414 My fatherH1; and shall notH3808 turnH7725 awayH7725 from followingH310 meH5414. 20SurelyH403 as a wifeH802 treacherouslyH898 departeth from herH802 husbandH7453, soH3651 have ye dealtH898 treacherouslyH898 with meH1004, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, saith the LORDH3068. 21A voiceH6963 is heardH8085 uponH5921 the bareH8205 heightsH8205, the weepingH1065 and the supplicationsH8469 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; for that they have perverted their wayH1870, they have forgottenH7911 the LORDH3068 their GodH430. 22ReturnH7725, ye backsliding childrenH1121, I will healH7495 your backslidings, BeholdH2005, weH3588 are comeH857 unto thee; for thou art the LORDH3068 our GodH430. 23TrulyH403 in vainH8267 is the help that is looked for from the hillsH1389, the tumultH1995 on the mountainsH2022: trulyH403 in the LORDH3068 our GodH430 is the salvationH8668 of IsraelH3478. 24But the shamefulH1322 thingH1322 hath devouredH398 the labour of our fathersH1 from our youthH5271; their flocksH6629 and their herdsH1241, their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323. 25LetH3808 usH3588 lieH7901 downH7901 in our shameH1322, and letH3808 our confusion coverH3680 usH3588: for weH587 have sinnedH2398 againstH2398 the LORDH3068 our GodH430, weH587 and our fathersH1, from our youthH5271 evenH5704 unto this dayH3117: and weH587 have notH3808 obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
