Jeremiah 3:1 - 3:5

« Jer 2 | Jer 3 | Jer 4 »

The Polluted Land

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 Yahweh.

2

“Lift up your eyes to the bare heights and see;

Where have you not been ravished?

By the roads you have sat for them

Like an Arab in the wilderness,

And you have polluted a land

With your harlotry and with your evil.

3

Therefore the showers have been withheld,

And the late rain has not come.

Yet you had a harlot’s forehead;

You refused to feel dishonor.

4

Have you not just now called to Me,

‘My Father, You are the close companion of my youth?

5

Will He be angry forever?

Will He keep it to the end?’

Behold, you have spoken

And have done evil things,

And you have had your way.”
