Jeremiah 3:6-11

Faithless Israel Called to Repentance

6The Lord said to me in the days of aKing Josiah: “Have you seen what she did, that faithless one, Israel, bhow she went up on every high hill and under every green tree, and there cplayed the whore? 7And I thought, ‘After she has done all this she will return to me,’ but she did not return, and her treacherous dsister Judah saw it. 8She saw that for all the adulteries of that faithless one, Israel, eI had sent her away with fa decree of divorce. gYet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but she too went hand played the whore. 9Because she took her whoredom lightly, she polluted the land, committing adultery with istone and tree. 10Yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah did not return to me jwith her whole heart, but in pretense, declares the Lord.”

11And the Lord said to me, kFaithless Israel has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.
