1 Goda Lit sayingsays, “If a husband divorces his wife
And she goes from him
And belongs to another man,
Will he still return to her?
Will not that land be completelyb Or alienatedpolluted?
But you are a harlot with manyc Lit companionslovers;
Yet you turn to Me,” declares the LORD.
2 “Lift up your eyes to the bare heights and see;
Where have you not been violated?
By the roads you have sat for them
Like an Arab in the desert,
And you have polluted a land
With your harlotry and with your wickedness.
3 “Therefore the showers have been withheld,
And there has been no spring rain.
Yet you had a harlot’s forehead;
You refused to be ashamed.
4 “Have you not just now called to Me,
‘My Father, You are thed Lit leaderfriend of my youth?
5 ‘Will He be angry forever?
Will Hee Lit keep itbe indignant to the end?’
Behold, you have spoken
And have done evil things,
And you havef Lit been ablehad your way.” |
