Jeremiah 3

ECB(i) 1
THE WHOREDOM OF YISRA EL
Saying, If a man sends away his woman, and she goes from him, and becomes to another man, returns he to her again? In profaning, is not that land profaned? And you whore with many friends and return to me - an oracle of Yah Veh. 2 Lift your eyes to the barrens and see! Where have you not raped? You sit for them in the ways as the Arabiy in the wilderness; and you profane the land with your whoredoms and with your evil. 3 And the showers are withheld and no after rain becomes; you have the forehead of a woman - a whore; you refuse to shame. 4 Call you not to me at this time, My father, you are the chiliarch of my youth? 5 Guards he eternally? Guards he in perpetuity? Behold, you word and work all the evil you can. 6
THE UNTRUSTWORTHINESS OF YISRA EL
And Yah Veh says to me in the days of Yoshi Yah the sovereign, See you what apostate Yisra El works? She goes on every high mountain and under every green tree, and whores there. 7 And I say, after she works all these, You, return to me. - and she returns not. And her covert sister Yah Hudah sees: 8 and I see, when for all the causes whereby apostate Yisra El adulterized I sent her away and gave her a scroll of divorce; yet her sister Yah Hudah who deals covertly awes not, and goes and whores also. 9 And so be it, through the voice of her whoredom she profanes the land, and adulterizes with stones and with timber. 10 And yet for all this her sister Yah Hudah who deals covertly returns not to me with her whole heart, but in falsehood - an oracle of Yah Veh. 11 And Yah Veh says to me, The apostate Yisra El justifies her soul more than Yah Hudah who deals covertly. 12 Go and call out these words northward, and say, Return, you apostate Yisra El - an oracle of Yah Veh. I fell not my face on you: for I am merciful - an oracle of Yah Veh. I guard not eternally: 13 only, acknowledge your perversity, that you rebel against Yah Veh your Elohim and scatter your ways to the strangers under every green tree, and hearken not to my voice - an oracle of Yah Veh. 14 Turn, O apostate sons - an oracle of Yah Veh for I am married to you: and I take you, one of a city and two of a family and I bring you to Siyon: 15 and according to my heart, I give you tenders to tend you with knowledge and comprehension: 16 and so be it, when you abound and bear fruit in the land, in those days - an oracle of Yah Veh they neither say any more, The ark of the covenant of Yah Veh: nor ascend it to heart nor remember they it nor visit they it; nor work they it any more. 17 At that time they call Yeru Shalem the throne of Yah Veh; and all the goyim congregate to it, to the name of Yah Veh to Yeru Shalem: and they walk no more after the warp of their evil heart. 18 In those days the house of Yah Hudah walks with the house of Yisra El; and they come together from the land of the north to the land your fathers inherited. 19 And I say, How place I you among the sons and give you a land of desire - a splendid inheritance of the hosts of goyim? And I say, Call me, My father; and turn not away from after me. 20 Surely as a woman deals covertly with her friend, thus you deal covertly with me, O house of Yisra El - an oracle of Yah Veh. 21 A voice on the barrens - hear! Weeping supplications of the sons of Yisra El: for they pervert their way and they forget Yah Veh their Elohim. 22 Return, you apostate sons, and I heal your apostasies. Behold, we come to you; for you are Yah Veh our Elohim. 23 Surely in falsehood from the hills and from the multitude of mountains: surely in Yah Veh our Elohim is the salvation of Yisra El. 24 For shame devours the labor of our fathers from our youth - their flocks and their herds their sons and their daughters: 25 we lie down in our shame, and our confusion covers us: for we sin against Yah Veh our Elohim - we and our fathers from our youth even to this day, and hearken not to the voice of Yah Veh our Elohim.
