Jeremiah 3:1-3

EasyEnglish Bible

‘If a man sends his wife away,
    she may leave him and marry another man.
Then her first husband may not take her as his wife again.
    That would be a sin against the land where you live.^[a]
But you have left me to live with other gods.
You have lived like a prostitute,
    but you still think that you can return to me.
² Look up at the tops of the hills.
    You have loved other gods on all of them!
You sat by the side of the road,
    and you waited for a lover to come.
Like a robber, you waited to catch men
    so that you could sleep with them.
You have not been faithful to me,
    but you have looked for other gods, like a prostitute.
The wicked things that you have done
    have made the land unclean.
³ That is why I have not sent any rain on your land.
    Even the spring rains have not come.
But you still live like a proud prostitute.
