Jeremiah 3
They
say,
If
a
man
a
put
away
his
wife,
and
she
go
from
him,
and
become
another
man's,
shall
he
return
unto
her
again?
shall
not
that
land
be
greatly
b
polluted?
but
thou
hast
played
the
harlot
with
many
lovers;
yet
return
again
to
me,
saith
the
Lord.
2 Lift
up
thine
eyes
unto
the
high
places,
and
see
where
thou
hast
not
been
lien
with.
In
the
ways
hast
thou
sat
for
them,
as
the
Arabian
in
the
wilderness;
and
thou
hast
polluted
the
land
with
thy
a
whoredoms
and
with
thy
wickedness.
3 Therefore
the
a
showers
have
been
withholden,
and
there
hath
been
no
b
latter
c
rain;
and
thou
hadst
a
whore's
forehead,
thou
refusedst
to
be
ashamed.
4 Wilt
thou
not
from
this
time
cry
unto
me,
My
father,
thou
art
the
guide
of
my
youth?
5 Will
he
reserve
his
a
anger
for
ever?
will
he
keep
it
to
the
end?
Behold,
thou
hast
spoken
and
done
evil
things
as
thou
couldest.
6 The
Lord
said
also
unto
me
in
the
days
of
Josiah
the
king,
Hast
thou
seen
that
which
backsliding
Israel
hath
done?
she
is
gone
up
upon
every
high
mountain
and
under
every
green
tree,
and
there
hath
played
the
harlot.
7 And
I
said
after
she
had
done
all
these
things,
Turn
thou
unto
me.
But
she
returned
not.
And
her
treacherous
a
sister
Judah
saw
it.
8 And
I
saw,
when
for
all
the
causes
whereby
backsliding
Israel
committed
a
adultery
I
had
put
her
away,
and
given
her
a
bill
of
b
divorce;
yet
her
treacherous
sister
Judah
feared
not,
but
went
and
played
the
harlot
also.
9 And
it
came
to
pass
through
the
lightness
of
her
whoredom,
that
she
defiled
the
land,
and
a
committed
adultery
with
b
stones
and
with
c
stocks.
10 And
yet
for
all
this
her
treacherous
sister
Judah
hath
not
turned
unto
me
with
her
whole
heart,
but
a
feignedly,
saith
the
Lord.
11 And
the
Lord
said
unto
me,
The
backsliding
Israel
hath
a
justified
herself
more
than
treacherous
Judah.
12 Go
and
a
proclaim
these
words
toward
the
b
north,
and
say,
c
Return,
thou
backsliding
Israel,
saith
the
Lord;
and
I
will
not
cause
mine
anger
to
fall
upon
you:
for
I
am
merciful,
saith
the
Lord,
and
I
will
not
keep
anger
for
ever.
13 Only
acknowledge
thine
iniquity,
that
thou
hast
transgressed
against
the
Lord
thy
God,
and
hast
scattered
thy
ways
to
the
strangers
under
every
green
tree,
and
ye
have
not
a
obeyed
my
voice,
saith
the
Lord.
14 Turn,
O
backsliding
children,
saith
the
Lord;
for
I
am
a
married
unto
you:
and
I
will
take
you
one
of
a
city,
and
two
of
a
family,
and
I
will
b
bring
you
to
c
Zion:
15 And
I
will
give
you
a
pastors
according
to
mine
heart,
which
shall
feed
you
with
b
knowledge
and
understanding.
16 And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
when
ye
be
multiplied
and
increased
in
the
land,
in
those
days,
saith
the
Lord,
they
shall
say
no
more,
The
a
ark
of
the
covenant
of
the
Lord:
neither
shall
it
come
to
mind:
neither
shall
they
remember
it;
neither
shall
they
visit
it;
neither
shall
that
be
done
any
more.
17 At
that
time
they
shall
call
a
Jerusalem
the
throne
of
the
Lord;
and
all
the
b
nations
shall
be
c
gathered
unto
it,
to
the
name
of
the
Lord,
to
Jerusalem:
neither
shall
they
walk
any
more
after
the
d
imagination
of
their
evil
heart.
18 In
those
days
the
a
house
of
Judah
shall
walk
with
the
house
of
Israel,
and
they
shall
come
together
out
of
the
b
land
of
the
c
north
to
the
land
that
I
have
given
for
an
inheritance
unto
your
fathers.
19 But
I
said,
How
shall
I
put
thee
among
the
children,
and
give
thee
a
pleasant
land,
a
goodly
heritage
of
the
hosts
of
nations?
and
I
said,
Thou
shalt
call
me,
My
father;
and
shalt
not
turn
away
from
me.
20 Surely
as
a
wife
treacherously
a
departeth
from
her
husband,
so
have
ye
dealt
treacherously
with
me,
O
house
of
Israel,
saith
the
Lord.
21 A
voice
was
heard
upon
the
high
places,
weeping
and
supplications
of
the
children
of
Israel:
for
they
have
perverted
their
way,
and
they
have
forgotten
the
Lord
their
God.
22 Return,
ye
backsliding
children,
and
I
will
a
heal
your
backslidings.
Behold,
we
come
unto
thee;
for
thou
art
the
Lord
our
God.
23 Truly
in
vain
is
salvation
hoped
for
from
the
hills,
and
from
the
multitude
of
mountains:
truly
in
the
Lord
our
God
is
the
salvation
of
Israel.
24 For
shame
hath
devoured
the
labour
of
our
fathers
from
our
youth;
their
flocks
and
their
herds,
their
sons
and
their
daughters.
25 We
lie
down
in
our
a
shame,
and
our
confusion
covereth
us:
for
we
have
b
sinned
against
the
Lord
our
God,
we
and
our
fathers,
from
our
youth
even
unto
this
day,
and
have
not
obeyed
the
voice
of
the
Lord
our
God.
