Unfaithful Israel

“If[a] a man divorces his wife
and she goes from him
and becomes another man’s wife,
    will he return to her?
Would not that land be greatly polluted?
You have played the harlot with many lovers;
    and would you return to me?
                says the Lord.
Lift up your eyes to the bare heights, and see!
    Where have you not been lain with?
By the waysides you have sat awaiting lovers
    like an Arab in the wilderness.
You have polluted the land
    with your vile harlotry.
Therefore the showers have been withheld,
    and the spring rain has not come;
yet you have a harlot’s brow,
    you refuse to be ashamed.
