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.
