3:1 "If
a
man
divorces
his
wife
and
she
goes
from
him
and
becomes
another
man's
wife,
will
he
return
to
her
Would
not
that
land
be
greatly
polluted
You
have
played
the
whore
with
many
lovers;
and
would
you
return
to
me
declares
the
LORD.
3:2 Lift
up
your
eyes
to
the
bare
heights,
and
see!
Where
have
you
not
been
ravished
By
the
waysides
you
have
sat
awaiting
lovers
like
an
Arab
in
the
wilderness.
You
have
polluted
the
land
with
your
vile
whoredom.
3:3 Therefore
the
showers
have
been
withheld,
and
the
spring
rain
has
not
come;
yet
you
have
the
forehead
of
a
whore;
you
refuse
to
be
ashamed.
3:4 Have
you
not
just
now
called
to
me,
'My
father,
you
are
the
friend
of
my
youth--
3:5 will
he
be
angry
forever,
will
he
be
indignant
to
the
end'
Behold,
you
have
spoken,
but
you
have
done
all
the
evil
that
you
could."
3:6 The
LORD
said
to
me
in
the
days
of
King
Josiah:
"Have
you
seen
what
she
did,
that
faithless
one,
Israel,
how
she
went
up
on
every
high
hill
and
under
every
green
tree,
and
there
played
the
whore
3:7 And
I
thought,
'After
she
has
done
all
this
she
will
return
to
me,'
but
she
did
not
return,
and
her
treacherous
sister
Judah
saw
it.
3:8 She
saw
that
for
all
the
adulteries
of
that
faithless
one,
Israel,
I
had
sent
her
away
with
a
decree
of
divorce.
Yet
her
treacherous
sister
Judah
did
not
fear,
but
she
too
went
and
played
the
whore.
3:9 Because
she
took
her
whoredom
lightly,
she
polluted
the
land,
committing
adultery
with
stone
and
tree.
3:10 Yet
for
all
this
her
treacherous
sister
Judah
did
not
return
to
me
with
her
whole
heart,
but
in
pretense,
declares
the
LORD."
3:11 And
the
LORD
said
to
me,
"Faithless
Israel
has
shown
herself
more
righteous
than
treacherous
Judah.
3:12 Go,
and
proclaim
these
words
toward
the
north,
and
say,
"'Return,
faithless
Israel,
declares
the
LORD.
I
will
not
look
on
you
in
anger,
for
I
am
merciful,
declares
the
LORD;
I
will
not
be
angry
forever.
3:13 Only
acknowledge
your
guilt,
that
you
rebelled
against
the
LORD
your
God
and
scattered
your
favors
among
foreigners
under
every
green
tree,
and
that
you
have
not
obeyed
my
voice,
declares
the
LORD.
3:14 Return,
O
faithless
children,
declares
the
LORD;
for
I
am
your
master;
I
will
take
you,
one
from
a
city
and
two
from
a
family,
and
I
will
bring
you
to
Zion.
3:15 "'And
I
will
give
you
shepherds
after
my
own
heart,
who
will
feed
you
with
knowledge
and
understanding.
3:16 And
when
you
have
multiplied
and
increased
in
the
land,
in
those
days,
declares
the
LORD,
they
shall
no
more
say,
"The
ark
of
the
covenant
of
the
LORD."
It
shall
not
come
to
mind
or
be
remembered
or
missed;
it
shall
not
be
made
again.
3:17 At
that
time
Jerusalem
shall
be
called
the
throne
of
the
LORD,
and
all
nations
shall
gather
to
it,
to
the
presence
of
the
LORD
in
Jerusalem,
and
they
shall
no
more
stubbornly
follow
their
own
evil
heart.
3:18 In
those
days
the
house
of
Judah
shall
join
the
house
of
Israel,
and
together
they
shall
come
from
the
land
of
the
north
to
the
land
that
I
gave
your
fathers
for
a
heritage.
3:19 "'I
said,
How
I
would
set
you
among
my
sons,
and
give
you
a
pleasant
land,
a
heritage
most
beautiful
of
all
nations.
And
I
thought
you
would
call
me,
My
Father,
and
would
not
turn
from
following
me.
3:20 Surely,
as
a
treacherous
wife
leaves
her
husband,
so
have
you
been
treacherous
to
me,
O
house
of
Israel,
declares
the
LORD.'"
3:21 A
voice
on
the
bare
heights
is
heard,
the
weeping
and
pleading
of
Israel's
sons
because
they
have
perverted
their
way;
they
have
forgotten
the
LORD
their
God.
3:22 "Return,
O
faithless
sons;
I
will
heal
your
faithlessness."
"Behold,
we
come
to
you,
for
you
are
the
LORD
our
God.
3:23 Truly
the
hills
are
a
delusion,
the
orgies
on
the
mountains.
Truly
in
the
LORD
our
God
is
the
salvation
of
Israel.
3:24 "But
from
our
youth
the
shameful
thing
has
devoured
all
for
which
our
fathers
labored,
their
flocks
and
their
herds,
their
sons
and
their
daughters.
3:25 Let
us
lie
down
in
our
shame,
and
let
our
dishonor
cover
us.
For
we
have
sinned
against
the
LORD
our
God,
we
and
our
fathers,
from
our
youth
even
to
this
day,
and
we
have
not
obeyed
the
voice
of
the
LORD
our
God."
