Jeremiah 3:6-11
Faithless Israel
6 Then the Lord said to me in the days of King Josiah, “Have you seen what faithless Israel did? She awent up on every high hill and under every leafy tree, and she prostituted herself there. 7Yet bI ▼▼Lit said
thought, ‘After she has done all these things she will return to Me’; but she did not return, and her dtreacherous sister Judah saw it. 8And I saw that for all the ▼▼I.e., idolatry
adulteries of faithless Israel, I had sent her away and fgiven her a certificate of divorce, yet her gtreacherous sister Judah did not fear; but she went and prostituted herself also. 9And because of the thoughtlessness of her prostitution, she hdefiled the land and committed ▼▼I.e., idolatry
adultery with jstones and trees. 10Yet in spite of all this her treacherous sister Judah did not return to Me with all her heart, but rather in kdeception,” declares the Lord. God Invites Repentance
11 And the Lord said to me, “ lFaithless Israel has proved herself to be more righteous than treacherous Judah.
