God says,
"If
a husband
divorces
his wife
And she goes
from him And belongs
to another
man,
Will he still
return
to her? Will not that land
be completely
polluted?
But you are a harlot
with many
lovers;
Yet you turn
to Me," declares
the LORD.
2
"Lift
up your eyes
to the bare heights
and see;
Where
have you not been violated?
By the roads
you have sat
for them Like an Arab
in the desert,
And you have polluted
a land
With your harlotry
and with your wickedness.
3
"Therefore the showers
have been withheld,
And there has been
no
spring rain.
Yet you had
a harlot's
forehead;
You refused
to be ashamed.
4
"Have you not just now
called
to Me, 'My Father,
You are the friend
of my youth?
5
'
Will He be angry
forever?
Will He be indignant
to the end?'
Behold,
you have spoken
And have done
evil things,
And you have had your way."
6
Then the LORD
said
to me in the days
of Josiah
the king,
"Have you seen
what
faithless
Israel
did?
She went
up on
every
high
hill
and under
every
green
tree,
and she was a harlot
there.
7
"I thought,
'After
she has done
all
these things
she will return
to Me'; but she did not return,
and her treacherous
sister
Judah
saw
it.
8
"And I saw
that for all
the adulteries
of faithless
Israel,
I had sent her away
and given
her a writ
of divorce,
yet her treacherous
sister
Judah
did not fear;
but she went
and was a harlot
also.
9
"Because
of the lightness
of her harlotry,
she polluted
the land
and committed adultery
with stones
and trees.
10
"Yet
in spite of all
this
her treacherous
sister
Judah
did not return
to Me with all
her heart,
but rather
in deception,"
declares
the LORD.
11
And the LORD
said
to me, "Faithless
Israel
has proved
herself
more
righteous
than
treacherous
Judah.
12
"Go
and proclaim
these
words
toward the north
and say,
'
Return,
faithless
Israel,'
declares
the LORD;
'
I will not look
upon you in anger. For I am gracious,'
declares
the LORD;
'I will not be angry
forever.
13
'
Only
acknowledge
your iniquity,
That you have transgressed
against the LORD
your God
And have scattered
your favors
to the strangers
under
every
green
tree,
And you have not obeyed
My voice,'
declares
the LORD.
14
'
Return,
O faithless
sons,'
declares
the LORD;
'
For I am a master
to you, And I will take
you one
from a city
and two
from a family,
And I will bring
you to Zion.'
15
"Then I will give
you shepherds
after My own heart,
who will feed
you on knowledge
and understanding.
16
"It shall be in those
days
when
you are multiplied
and increased
in the land,"
declares
the LORD,
"they will no
longer
say,
'The ark
of the covenant
of the LORD.'
And it will not come
to mind,
nor
will they remember
it,
nor
will they miss
it,
nor
will it be made
again.
17
"At that time
they will call
Jerusalem
'
The Throne
of the LORD,'
and all
the nations
will be gathered
to it, to
Jerusalem
,
for the name
of the LORD;
nor
will they walk
anymore
after
the stubbornness
of their evil
heart.
18
"In those
days
the house
of Judah
will walk
with
the house
of Israel,
and they will come
together
from the land
of the north
to the land
that I gave
your fathers
as an inheritance.
19
"Then I said,
'How
I would set
you among My sons
And give
you a pleasant
land,
The most
beautiful
inheritance
of the nations!'
And I said,
'You shall call
Me, My Father,
And not turn away
from following
Me.'
20
"Surely,
as a woman
treacherously
departs from her lover,
So
you have dealt
treacherously
with Me, O house
of Israel,"
declares
the LORD.
21
A voice
is heard
on the bare heights,
The weeping
and the supplications
of the sons
of Israel;
Because
they have perverted
their way,
They have forgotten
the LORD
their God.
22
"Return,
O faithless
sons,
I will heal
your faithlessness."
"Behold,
we come
to You; For You are the LORD
our God.
23
"
Surely
,
the hills
are a deception,
A tumult
on the mountains.
Surely
in the LORD
our God
Is the salvation
of Israel.
24
"But the shameful thing
has consumed
the labor
of our fathers
since
our youth,
their flocks
and their herds,
their sons
and their daughters.
25
"Let us lie down
in our shame,
and let our humiliation
cover
us; for we have sinned
against the LORD
our God,
we and our fathers,
from our youth
even to this
day.
And we have not obeyed
the voice
of the LORD
our God."
