LEB(i)
8 And I saw that ⌊for this very reason, that⌋* on account of apostate* Israel committing adultery I divorced her and gave the letter of divorce to her. Yet her treacherous sister Judah was not afraid and she went and prostituted herself also.
9 And it was because of the frivolity of her fornication that she defiled the land and committed adultery with the stone and with the tree.
10 Yet even in all this her treacherous sister Judah did not return to me with all her heart, ⌊but only⌋* in pretense,"* ⌊declares⌋* Yahweh.
11 Then Yahweh said to me, "Apostate* Israel has proved herself more upright* than treacherous Judah.
12 Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and say,
'Return, apostate* Israel,' ⌊declares⌋* Yahweh. 'I will not cause my ⌊anger⌋* to fall on you. For I am loyal,' ⌊declares⌋* Yahweh. 'I will not be angry ⌊forever⌋.* 13 Only acknowledge your guilt, that against Yahweh your God you have rebelled, and have scattered your ways to the strangers under every leafy tree, and you have not obeyed my voice,' ⌊declares⌋* Yahweh." 14 "Return, apostate* children," ⌊declares⌋* Yahweh. "For ⌊I am your master⌋,* and I will take you one from a city and two from a clan,* and I will bring you to Zion.
