1 ^r“If ^{▼▼Septuagint, Syriac; Hebrew Saying, “If} a man divorces his wife

and becomes another man’s wife,

^uYou have played the whore with many lovers;
and would you return to me?

declares the Lord.
2 Lift up your eyes to ^vthe bare heights, and see!
Where have you not been ravished?
^wBy the waysides you have sat awaiting lovers
like an Arab in the wilderness.
^xYou have polluted the land
with your vile whoredom.
