Jeremiah 3:1-9 Saying, `Lo, one sends away his wife, And she has gone from him, And she has been to another man, Does he turn back unto her again? Greatly defiled is not that land? And you have committed whoredom with many lovers, And turn again to Me, an affirmation of Yahweh."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Saying, `Lo, one sends away his wife, And she has gone from him, And she has been to another man, Does he turn back unto her again? Greatly defiled is not that land? And you have committed whoredom with many lovers, And turn again to Me, an affirmation of Yahweh." ² Lift your eyes to the high places, and see, Where have you not been lain with? On the ways you have sat for them, As an Arab in a wilderness, And you defile the land, By your fornications, and by your wickedness." ³ And withheld are showers, and gathered rain has not been. The forehead of a whorish woman you have, You have refused to be ashamed." ⁴ Have you not henceforth called to Me, `My father, You [are] the leader of my youth? ⁵ Does He keep to the eon? watch for ever?' Lo, these things you have spoken, And you do the evil things, and prevail." ⁶ And Yahweh said unto me, in the days of Josiah the king, `Have you seen that which backsliding Israel has done? She is going on every high mountain, and unto the place of every green tree, and commits fornication there." ⁷ And I say, after her doing all these, Unto Me you do turn back, and she has not turned back, and see [it] does her treacherous sister Judah." ⁸ And I see when (for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery) I have sent her away, and I give the bill of her divorce unto her, that treacherous Judah her sister has not feared, and goes and commits fornication--she also." ⁹ And it has come to pass, from the vileness of her fornication, that the land is defiled, and she commits fornication with stone and with wood."
