3 “If a man divorces^(A) his wife
    and she leaves him and marries another man,
should he return to her again?
    Would not the land be completely defiled?^(B)
But you have lived as a prostitute with many lovers^(C)—
    would you now return to me?”^(D)
declares the Lord.
² “Look up to the barren heights^(E) and see.
    Is there any place where you have not been ravished?
By the roadside^(F) you sat waiting for lovers,
    sat like a nomad in the desert.
You have defiled the land^(G)
    with your prostitution^(H) and wickedness.
³ Therefore the showers have been withheld,^(I)
    and no spring rains^(J) have fallen.
Yet you have the brazen^(K) look of a prostitute;
    you refuse to blush with shame.^(L)

²³ But these people have stubborn and rebellious^(A) hearts;
    they have turned aside^(B) and gone away.
²⁴ They do not say to themselves,
    ‘Let us fear^(C) the Lord our God,
who gives autumn and spring rains^(D) in season,
    who assures us of the regular weeks of harvest.’^(E)
25 Your wrongdoings have kept these away;
    your sins have deprived you of good.^(F)
