Jeremiah 3:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ Judah saw that I ·divorced [^Lsent away with a certificate of divorce] unfaithful Israel because of her adultery [^Cin the Assyrian exile of 722 bc], but that didn’t make Israel’s ·wicked [traitorous; treacherous] sister Judah afraid. She also went out and acted like a prostitute! ⁹ And she didn’t care that she was acting like a prostitute. So she made her country ·unclean [defiled; polluted; ^Cin a ritual sense] and was guilty of adultery with stone and wood [^Cby worshiping idols made of these materials]. ¹⁰ Israel’s ·wicked [traitorous; treacherous] sister, Judah, didn’t even come back to me with her whole heart, but only pretended,” says the Lord.
