Jeremiah 3:1-22

They say
<0559> (8800)_,
If a man
<0376>
put away
<07971> (8762)
his wife
<0802>_,
and she go
<01980> (8804)
from him, and become another
<0312>
man's
<0376>_,
shall he return unto her again
<07725> (8799)_?
shall not that land
<0776>
be greatly
<02610> (8800)
polluted
<02610> (8799)_?
but thou hast played the harlot
<02181> (8804)
with many
<07227>
lovers
<07453>_;
yet return again
<07725> (8800)
to me, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
{They say: Heb. Saying}
Lift up
<05375> (8798)
thine eyes
<05869>
unto the high places
<08205>_,
and see
<07200> (8798)
where
<0375>
thou hast not been lien
<07693> (8795) (8676) <07901> (8795)
with. In the ways
<01870>
hast thou sat
<03427> (8804)
for them, as the Arabian
<06163>
in the wilderness
<04057>_;
and thou hast polluted
<02610> (8686)
the land
<0776>
with thy whoredoms
<02184>
and with thy wickedness
<07451>_.
Therefore the showers
<07241>
have been withholden
<04513> (8735)_,
and there hath been no latter rain
<04456>_;
and thou hadst a whore's
<02181> (8802) <0802>
forehead
<04696>_,
thou refusedst
<03985> (8765)
to be ashamed
<03637> (8736)_.
Wilt thou not from this time cry
<07121> (8804)
unto me, My father
<01>_,
thou [art] the guide
<0441>
of my youth
<05271>_?
Will he reserve
<05201> (8799)
[his anger] for ever
<05769>_?
will he keep
<08104> (8799)
[it] to the end
<05331>_?
Behold, thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)
and done
<06213> (8799)
evil things
<07451>
as thou couldest
<03201> (8799)_.
The LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
also unto me in the days
<03117>
of Josiah
<02977>
the king
<04428>_,
Hast thou seen
<07200> (8804)
[that] which backsliding
<04878>
Israel
<03478>
hath done
<06213> (8804)_?
she is gone up
<01980> (8802)
upon every high
<01364>
mountain
<02022>
and under
<08478>
every green
<07488>
tree
<06086>_,
and there hath played the harlot
<02181> (8799)_.
And I said
<0559> (8799)
after
<0310>
she had done
<06213> (8800)
all these [things], Turn
<07725> (8799)
thou unto me. But she returned
<07725> (8804)
not. And her treacherous
<0901>
sister
<0269>
Judah
<03063>
saw
<07200> (8799)
[it].
And I saw
<07200> (8799)_,
when for all the causes
<0182>
whereby backsliding
<04878>
Israel
<03478>
committed adultery
<05003> (8765)
I had put her away
<07971> (8765)_,
and given
<05414> (8799)
her a bill
<05612>
of divorce
<03748>_;
yet her treacherous
<0898> (8802)
sister
<0269>
Judah
<03063>
feared
<03372> (8804)
not, but went
<03212> (8799)
and played the harlot
<02181> (8799)
also.
And it came to pass through the lightness
<06963>
of her whoredom
<02184>_,
that she defiled
<02610> (8799)
the land
<0776>_,
and committed adultery
<05003> (8799)
with stones
<068>
and with stocks
<06086>_.
{lightness: or, fame}
And yet for all this her treacherous
<0901>
sister
<0269>
Judah
<03063>
hath not turned
<07725> (8804)
unto me with her whole heart
<03820>_,
but feignedly
<08267>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
{feignedly: Heb. in falsehood}
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, The backsliding
<04878>
Israel
<03478>
hath justified
<06663> (8765)
herself
<05315>
more than treacherous
<0898> (8802)
Judah
<03063>_.
Go
<01980> (8800)
and proclaim
<07121> (8804)
these words
<01697>
toward the north
<06828>_,
and say
<0559> (8804)_,
Return
<07725> (8798)_,
thou backsliding
<04878>
Israel
<03478>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_;
[and] I will not cause mine anger
<06440>
to fall
<05307> (8686)
upon you: for I [am] merciful
<02623>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
[and] I will not keep
<05201> (8799)
[anger] for ever
<05769>_.
Only acknowledge
<03045> (8798)
thine iniquity
<05771>_,
that thou hast transgressed
<06586> (8804)
against the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_,
and hast scattered
<06340> (8762)
thy ways
<01870>
to the strangers
<02114> (8801)
under every green
<07488>
tree
<06086>_,
and ye have not obeyed
<08085> (8804)
my voice
<06963>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Turn
<07725> (8798)_,
O backsliding
<07726>
children
<01121>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_;
for I am married
<01166> (8804)
unto you: and I will take
<03947> (8804)
you one
<0259>
of a city
<05892>_,
and two
<08147>
of a family
<04940>_,
and I will bring
<0935> (8689)
you to Zion
<06726>_:
And I will give
<05414> (8804)
you pastors
<07462> (8802)
according to mine heart
<03820>_,
which shall feed
<07462> (8804)
you with knowledge
<01844>
and understanding
<07919> (8687)_.
And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied
<07235> (8799)
and increased
<06509> (8804)
in the land
<0776>_,
in those days
<03117>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
they shall say
<0559> (8799)
no more, The ark
<0727>
of the covenant
<01285>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
neither shall it come
<05927> (8799)
to mind
<03820>_:
neither shall they remember
<02142> (8799)
it; neither shall they visit
<06485> (8799)
[it]; neither shall [that] be done
<06213> (8735)
any more. {come to mind: Heb. come upon the heart} {that...: or, it be magnified}
At that time
<06256>
they shall call
<07121> (8799)
Jerusalem
<03389>
the throne
<03678>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
and all the nations
<01471>
shall be gathered
<06960> (8738)
unto it, to the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
to Jerusalem
<03389>_:
neither shall they walk
<03212> (8799)
any more after
<0310>
the imagination
<08307>
of their evil
<07451>
heart
<03820>_.
{imagination: or, stubbornness}
In those days
<03117>
the house
<01004>
of Judah
<03063>
shall walk
<03212> (8799)
with the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and they shall come
<0935> (8799)
together
<03162>
out of the land
<0776>
of the north
<06828>
to the land
<0776>
that I have given for an inheritance
<05157> (8689)
unto your fathers
<01>_.
{with: or, to} {given...: or, caused your fathers to possess}
But I said
<0559> (8804)_,
How shall I put
<07896> (8799)
thee among the children
<01121>_,
and give
<05414> (8799)
thee a pleasant
<02532>
land
<0776>_,
a goodly
<06643>
heritage
<05159>
of the hosts
<06635>
of nations
<01471>_?
and I said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thou shalt call
<07121> (8799)
me, My father
<01>_;
and shalt not turn away
<07725> (8799)
from me
<0310>_.
{from me: Heb. from after me} {a goodly...: Heb. an heritage of glory, or, beauty} {pleasant...: Heb. land of desire}
Surely
<0403>
[as] a wife
<0802>
treacherously
<0898> (8804)
departeth from her husband
<07453>_,
so have ye dealt treacherously
<0898> (8804)
with me, O house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
{husband: Heb. friend}
A voice
<06963>
was heard
<08085> (8738)
upon the high places
<08205>_,
weeping
<01065>
[and] supplications
<08469>
of the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_:
for they have perverted
<05753> (8689)
their way
<01870>_,
[and] they have forgotten
<07911> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
their God
<0430>_.
Return
<07725> (8798)_,
ye backsliding
<07726>
children
<01121>_,
[and] I will heal
<07495> (8799)
your backslidings
<04878>_.
Behold, we come
<0857> (8804)
unto thee; for thou [art] the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_.
