Jeremiah 3:3-10

VIN(i) 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? Guards he in perpetuity? Behold, you word and work all the evil you can. 6 In the time of King Josiah the LORD said to me, "Have you seen what unfaithful Israel did? She went up on every high hill and under every green tree, and she committed fornication there. 7 I thought, 'After she has done all these things, she will return to me.' But she didn't return, and her treacherous sister Judah saw this. 8 I saw that even though I had sent unfaithful Israel away for all her adulteries and had given her a divorce decree, her treacherous sister Judah didn't fear, and she, too, committed adultery. 9 "Because she was not concerned about her prostitution. She polluted the land and committed adultery with stone and wood. 10 Yet even in all this her treacherous sister Judah did not return to me with all her heart, but only in pretense," declares the LORD.
