Jeremiah 3:6-10

Modern English Version

A Call to Repentance

⁶ The Lord said also to me in the days of Josiah the king: Have you seen that which backsliding Israel has done? She has gone up on every high mountain and under every green tree, and there has played the harlot. ⁷ I said after she had done all these things, “Turn to Me.” But she did not return. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it. ⁸ I saw that for all the adulteries of backsliding Israel, I had put her away and given her a bill of divorce. Yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but went and played the harlot also. ⁹ Through the lightness of her harlotry she defiled the land and committed adultery with stones and with trees. ¹⁰ Yet for all this, her treacherous sister Judah has not turned to Me with her whole heart, but feignedly, says the Lord.
