Jeremiah 3:1-5 NIV

    ¹ "If a man divorces his wife
       and she leaves him and marries another man,
       should he return to her again?
       Would not the land be completely defiled?
       But you have lived as a prostitute with many lovers—
       would you now return to me?"
       declares the LORD.

    ² "Look up to the barren heights and see.
       Is there any place where you have not been ravished?
       By the roadside you sat waiting for lovers,
       sat like a nomad ^[a] in the desert.
       You have defiled the land
       with your prostitution and wickedness.

    ³ Therefore the showers have been withheld,
       and no spring rains have fallen.
       Yet you have the brazen look of a prostitute;
       you refuse to blush with shame.

⁴ Have you not just called to me:
'My Father, my friend from my youth,

    ⁵ will you always be angry?
       Will your wrath continue forever?'
       This is how you talk,
       but you do all the evil you can."
