Jeremiah 3:1-9 A saying: 'Look, if a man divorces his wife, and she goes from him and she becomes another man's wife, will he return to her again?' Will not that land be greatly defiled? And you have prostituted yourself with many lovers, would you now return to me?" declares the LORD.

You have sat beside the road, waiting for them like a nomad in the desert. And you have polluted the land with your fornication and your wickedness. ³ Therefore rain showers have been withheld, and the spring rain has not come. Yet you have the forehead of a woman prostitute, you refuse to be ashamed. ⁴ Have you not just called out to me, 'My father, you are the friend of my youth ⁵ Guards he eternally?

She polluted the land and committed adultery with stone and wood.
