Jeremiah 3:6-11 And the Lord said unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen what backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and hath played the harlot there.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ And the Lord said unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen what backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and hath played the harlot there. ⁷ And I thought that after she had done all these things, she would return unto me. But she returned not. And this saw her treacherous sister Judah. ⁸ And I saw, that, although because backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had sent her away, and given her bill of divorce unto her, still treacherous Judah her sister feared not, but went and played herself the harlot also. ⁹ And it came to pass through her giddy incest, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stone and with wood. ¹⁰ And yet with all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not returned unto me with all her heart, but with falsehood, saith the Lord. ¹¹ And the Lord said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself through the treacherous Judah.
