Jeremiah 3:2-5
The Message
Jeremiah 3:2-5
The Message
2-5 “Look around at the hills.
Where have you not had sex?
You’ve camped out like hunters stalking deer.
You’ve solicited many lover-gods,
Like a streetwalking whore
chasing after other gods.
And so the rain has stopped.
No more rain from the skies!
But it doesn’t even faze you. Brazen as whores,
you carry on as if you’ve done nothing wrong.
Then you have the nerve to call out, ‘My father!
You took care of me when I was a child. Why not now?
Are you going to keep up your anger nonstop?’
That’s your line. Meanwhile you keep sinning nonstop.”
Jeremiah 3:2-5
New International Version
Jeremiah 3:2-5
New International Version
2 “Look up to the barren heights(A) and see.
Is there any place where you have not been ravished?
By the roadside(B) you sat waiting for lovers,
sat like a nomad in the desert.
You have defiled the land(C)
with your prostitution(D) and wickedness.
3 Therefore the showers have been withheld,(E)
and no spring rains(F) have fallen.
Yet you have the brazen(G) look of a prostitute;
you refuse to blush with shame.(H)
4 Have you not just called to me:
‘My Father,(I) my friend from my youth,(J)
5 will you always be angry?(K)
Will your wrath continue forever?’
This is how you talk,
but you do all the evil you can.”
