Jeremiah 3:1-3

International Children’s Bible

3 “Now a man might divorce his wife.
    And she might leave him and marry another man.
Should her first husband come back to her again?
    If he went back to her, the land would become completely unclean.
But you have acted like a prostitute with many lovers.
    And now you want to come back to me?” says the Lord.
² “Look up to the bare hilltops, Judah.
    Is there any place where you have not been a prostitute?
You have sat by the road waiting for lovers.
    You sat there like an Arab in the desert.
You made the land unclean.
    This was because you did evil and were like a prostitute.
³ So the rain has not come.
    There have not been any spring rains.
But your face still looks like the face of a prostitute.
    You refuse even to be ashamed of what you did.
