Jeremiah:3:1-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
They say ,
If a man put away his wife ,
and she go from him ,
and become another mans ,
shall he return unto her again ?
shall not that land be greatly polluted ?
but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers ;
yet return again to me ,
saith the LORD .
*
Lift up thine eyes unto the high places ,
and see where thou hast not been lien (
8676 )
with .
In the ways hast thou sat for them ,
as the Arabian in the wilderness ;
and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness .
*
Therefore the showers have been withholden ,
and there hath been no latter rain ;
and thou hadst a whores forehead ,
thou refusedst to be ashamed .
*
Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me ,
My father ,
thou art the guide of my youth na #
uwr #?
*
Will he reserve his anger for ever ?
will he keep it to the end ?
Behold ,
thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest .
*
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 .
*
And I said after she had done all these things ,
Turn thou unto me .
But she returned not .
And her treacherous sister Judah saw it .
*
And I saw ,
when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away ,
and given her a bill of divorce ;
yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not ,
but went and played the harlot also .
*
And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom ,
that she defiled the land ,
and committed adultery with stones and with stocks .
