MLV(i)
6 Moreover Jehovah said to me in the days of Josiah the king, Have you seen what backsliding Israel has done? She has gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree and there has played the prostitute.
7 And I said after she had done all these things, She will return to me, but she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
8 And I saw, when, for this very cause that backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a document of divorcement, yet treacherous Judah her sister did not fear, but she also went and played the prostitute.
9 And it happened through the lightness of her prostitution, that the land was polluted and she committed adultery with stones and with stocks. 10 And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah has not returned to me with her whole heart, but in pretense, says Jehovah.
11 And Jehovah said to me, Backsliding Israel has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.
