Jeremiah 3:1-5

The Polluted Land

3God 1says, “aIf a husband divorces his wifeAnd she goes from himAnd belongs to another man,Will he still return to her?Will not that land be completely 2polluted?But you bare a harlot with many 3lovers;Yet you cturn to Me,” declares Yahweh.2Lift up your eyes to the abare heights and see;Where have you not been ravished?By the roads you have bsat for themLike 1an Arab in the wilderness,And you have cpolluted a landWith your harlotry and with your evil.3Therefore the ashowers have been withheld,And the 1late rain has not 2come.Yet you had a bharlot’s forehead;You refused to feel dishonor.4Have you not just now called to Me,aMy Father, You are the 1,bclose companion of my cyouth?5aWill He be angry forever?Will He keep it to the end?’Behold, you have spokenAnd have done evil things,And you have 1had your way.”
