Faithless Israel Called to Repentance
6 The Lord said to me in the days of (A)King Josiah: “Have you seen what she did, that faithless one, Israel, (B)how she went up on every high hill and under every green tree, and there (C)played the whore? 7 And I thought, ‘After she has done all this she will return to me,’ but she did not return, and her treacherous (D)sister Judah saw it. 8 She saw that for all the adulteries of that faithless one, Israel, (E)I had sent her away with (F)a decree of divorce. (G)Yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but she too went (H)and played the whore. 9 Because she took her whoredom lightly, she polluted the land, committing adultery with (I)stone and tree. 10 Yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah did not return to me (J)with her whole heart, but in pretense, declares the Lord.”
11 And the Lord said to me, (K)“Faithless Israel has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.

Exile Because of Idolatry
7 And this occurred because the people of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, (A)who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods 8 (B)and walked in the customs of the nations whom the Lord drove out before the people of Israel, (C)and in the customs that the kings of Israel had practiced. 9 And the people of Israel did secretly against the Lord their God things that were not right. They built for themselves high places in all their towns, (D)from watchtower to fortified city. 10 They set up for themselves (E)pillars and Asherim on every high hill and under every green tree, 11 and there they made offerings on all the high places, as the nations did whom the Lord carried away before them. And they did wicked things, provoking the Lord to anger, 12 and they served idols, (F)of which the Lord had said to them, “You shall not do this.” 13 Yet the Lord (G)warned Israel and Judah (H)by every prophet (I)and every seer, saying, (J)“Turn from your evil ways and keep my commandments and my statutes, in accordance with all the Law that I commanded your fathers, and that I sent to you by my servants the prophets.”
14 But they would not listen, (K)but were stubborn, as their fathers had been, who did not believe in the Lord their God. 15 They despised his statutes (L)and his covenant that he made with their fathers and the warnings that he gave them. They went after (M)false idols (N)and became false, and they followed the nations that were around them, concerning whom the (O)Lord had commanded them that they should not do like them. 16 And they abandoned all the commandments of the Lord their God, and made for themselves metal images of (P)two calves; and they (Q)made an Asherah and (R)worshiped all the host of heaven and served (S)Baal. 17 (T)And they burned their sons and their daughters as offerings[a] and used (U)divination and (V)omens and (W)sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking him to anger. 18 Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel and removed them out of his sight. None was left but (X)the tribe of Judah only.
19 (Y)Judah also did not keep the commandments of the Lord their God, but walked in the customs that Israel had introduced. 20 And the Lord rejected all the descendants of Israel and afflicted them (Z)and gave them into the hand of plunderers, until he had cast them out of his sight.
