Jeremiah 3:6-13

6The LORDH3068 saidH559 also to me in the daysH3117 of JosiahH2977 the kingH4428, Hast thou seenH7200 that which backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478 hath doneH6213? she hath gone upH1980 upon every highH1364 mountainH2022 and underH8478 every greenH7488 treeH6086, and there hath played the harlotH2181. 7And I saidH559 afterH310 she had doneH6213 all these things, TurnH7725 thou to me. But she returnedH7725 not. And her treacherousH901 sisterH269 JudahH3063 sawH7200 it . 8And I sawH7200, when for all the causesH182 by which backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478 committed adulteryH5003 I had put her awayH7971, and givenH5414 her a billH5612 of divorceH3748; yet her treacherousH898 sisterH269 JudahH3063 fearedH3372 not, but wentH3212 and played the harlotH2181 also. 9And it came to pass through the lightnessH6963 of her harlotryH2184, that she defiledH2610 the landH776, and committed adulteryH5003 with stonesH68 and with stocksH6086.1 10And yet for all this her treacherousH901 sisterH269 JudahH3063 hath not turnedH7725 to me with her whole heartH3820, but deceitfullyH8267, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.2 11And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to me, The backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478 hath justifiedH6663 herselfH5315 more than treacherousH898 JudahH3063.

12GoH1980 and proclaimH7121 these wordsH1697 toward the northH6828, and sayH559, ReturnH7725, thou backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and I will not cause my angerH6440 to fallH5307 upon you: for I am mercifulH2623, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and I will not keepH5201 anger for everH5769. 13Only acknowledgeH3045 thy iniquityH5771, that thou hast transgressedH6586 against the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and hast scatteredH6340 thy waysH1870 to the strangersH2114 under every greenH7488 treeH6086, and ye have not obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
