Jeremiah 3:6-11 Jehovah also said to me in the days of Josiah the king, Have you seen that which backsliding Israel has done? She has gone up on every high mountain and under every green tree, and has fornicated there.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Jehovah also said to me in the days of Josiah the king, Have you seen that which backsliding Israel has done? She has gone up on every high mountain and under every green tree, and has fornicated there. ⁷ And I said after she had done all these things, Turn to Me! But she did not return. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it. ⁸ And I saw, when for all the causes for which backsliding Israel committed adultery, I sent her away and gave a bill of divorce to her, yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but she went and whored, she also. ⁹ And it happened, from the folly of her whoredom, she defiled the land and fornicated with stones and stocks. ¹⁰ And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah has not turned to Me with her whole heart, but with falsehood, says Jehovah. ¹¹ And Jehovah said to me, The backsliding Israel has justified herself more than treacherous Judah.
