Jeremiah 3:6 (NASU) Then the
Lord said to me in the days of Josiah the king,
"Have you seen what faithless Israel did? She went up on every high hill and under every green tree,
and she was a harlot there. 7 I thought, `After she has done all
these things she will return to Me'; but
she did not return, and her treacherous
sister Judah saw it. 8 And I saw
that for all the adulteries of faithless
Israel, I had sent her away and given her a writ
of divorce, yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear; but she went and was a harlot also. 9 Because of the lightness of her harlotry, she polluted the land and committed
adultery with stones and trees. 10 Yet in spite of all this her
treacherous sister Judah did not return to Me
with all her heart, but rather in deception,"
declares the Lord.
