“If a man divorces his wife and she goes and marries someone else,
    the first husband cannot take her back.
    If he did,[a] it would make the land unclean.
Judah, you and all your false gods are like a prostitute with many lovers!
    So why do you think you can come back to me?”
    This message is from the Lord.
“Look up to the bare hilltops, Judah.
    Is there any place where you have not had sex with your lovers?
You sat by the road waiting for lovers,
    like an Arab in the desert.
You made the land ‘dirty’
    with all the evil sins you did
    when you were unfaithful to me.
