Contemporary English Version
Jeremiah 3:1-2
Contemporary English Version
Sin and Shame
3 The Lord said to the people of Israel:
If a divorced woman marries,
can her first husband
    ever marry her again?
No, because this
    would pollute the land.
But you have more gods
than a prostitute has lovers.
    Why should I take you back?
2 Just try to find one hilltop
    where you haven't gone
to worship other gods
    by having sex.[a]
You sat beside the road
    like a robber in ambush,
except you offered yourself
    to every passerby.
Your sins of unfaithfulness
    have polluted the land.
