Jeremías 3

1They say^H559, If a man^H376 put away^H7971 his wife^H802, and she go^H1980 from him, and become another^H312 man's^H376, will he return unto her again^H7725? will not that land^H776 be greatly^H2610 polluted^H2610? But thou hast played the harlot^H2181 with many^H7227 lovers^H7453; yet return again^H7725 to me, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068. 2Lift up^H5375 thine eyes^H5869 unto the bare heights^H8205, and see^H7200; where^H375 hast thou not been lain^H7693 with? By the ways^H1870 hast thou sat^H3427 for them, as an Arabian^H6163 in the wilderness^H4057; and thou hast polluted^H2610 the land^H776 with thy whoredoms^H2184 and with thy wickedness^H7451. 3Therefore the showers^H7241 have been withholden^H4513, and there hath been no latter rain^H4456; yet thou hast a harlot's^H2181 forehead^H4696, thou refusedst^H3985 to be ashamed^H3637. 4Wilt thou not from this time cry^H7121 unto me, My Father^H1, thou art the guide^H441 of my youth^H5271? 5Will he retain^H5201 his anger for ever^H5769? will he keep^H8104 it to the end^H5331? Behold, thou hast spoken^H1696 and hast done^H6213 evil things^H7451, and hast had thy way^H3201. 6Moreover Jehovah^H3068 said^H559 unto me in the days^H3117 of Josiah^H2977 the king^H4428, Hast thou seen^H7200 that which backsliding^H4878 Israel^H3478 hath done^H6213? she is gone up^H1980 upon every high^H1364 mountain^H2022 and under^H8478 every green^H7488 tree^H6086, and there hath played the harlot^H2181. 7And I said^H559 after^H310 she had done^H6213 all these things, She will return^H7725 unto me; but she returned^H7725 not: and her treacherous^H901 sister^H269 Judah^H3063 saw^H7200 it. 8And I saw^H7200, when, for this very cause^H182 that backsliding^H4878 Israel^H3478 had committed adultery^H5003, I had put her away^H7971 and given^H5414 her a bill^H5612 of divorcement^H3748, yet treacherous^H898 Judah^H3063 her sister^H269 feared^H3372 not; but she also went^H3212 and played the harlot^H2181. 9And it came to pass through the lightness^H6963 of her whoredom^H2184, that the land^H776 was polluted^H2610, and she committed adultery^H5003 with stones^H68 and with stocks^H6086. 10And yet for all this her treacherous^H901 sister^H269 Judah^H3063 hath not returned^H7725 unto me with her whole heart^H3820, but feignedly^H8267, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068. 11And Jehovah^H3068 said^H559 unto me, Backsliding^H4878 Israel^H3478 hath showed herself^H5315 more righteous^H6663 than treacherous^H898 Judah^H3063. 12Go^H1980, and proclaim^H7121 these words^H1697 toward the north^H6828, and say^H559, Return^H7725, thou backsliding^H4878 Israel^H3478, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068; I will not look^H5307 in anger^H6440 upon you; for I am merciful^H2623, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068, I will not keep^H5201 anger for ever^H5769. 13Only acknowledge^H3045 thine iniquity^H5771, that thou hast transgressed^H6586 against Jehovah^H3068 thy God^H430, and hast scattered^H6340 thy ways^H1870 to the strangers^H2114 under every green^H7488 tree^H6086, and ye have not obeyed^H8085 my voice^H6963, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068. 14Return^H7725, O backsliding^H7726 children^H1121, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068; for I am a husband^H1166 unto you: and I will take^H3947 you one^H259 of a city^H5892, and two^H8147 of a family^H4940, and I will bring^H935 you to Zion^H6726: 15and I will give^H5414 you shepherds^H7462 according to my heart^H3820, who shall feed^H7462 you with knowledge^H1844 and understanding^H7919. 16And it shall come to pass, when ye are multiplied^H7235 and increased^H6509 in the land^H776, in those days^H3117, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068, they shall say^H559 no more, The ark^H727 of the covenant^H1285 of Jehovah^H3068; neither shall it come^H5927 to mind^H3820; neither shall they remember^H2142 it; neither shall they miss^H6485 it; neither shall it be made^H6213 any more. 17At that time^H6256 they shall call^H7121 Jerusalem^H3389 the throne^H3678 of Jehovah^H3068; and all the nations^H1471 shall be gathered^H6960 unto it, to the name^H8034 of Jehovah^H3068, to Jerusalem^H3389: neither shall they walk^H3212 any more after^H310 the stubbornness^H8307 of their evil^H7451 heart^H3820. 18In those days^H3117 the house^H1004 of Judah^H3063 shall walk^H3212 with the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478, and they shall come^H935 together^H3162 out of the land^H776 of the north^H6828 to the land^H776 that I gave for an inheritance^H5157 unto your fathers^H1. 19But I said^H559, How I will put^H7896 thee among the children^H1121, and give^H5414 thee a pleasant^H2532 land^H776, a goodly^H6643 heritage^H5159 of the hosts^H6635 of the nations^H1471! and I said^H559, Ye shall call^H7121 me My Father^H1, and shall not turn away^H7725 from following me^H310. 20Surely^H403 as a wife^H802 treacherously^H898 departeth from her husband^H7453, so have ye dealt treacherously^H898 with me, O house^H1004 of Israel^H3478, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068. 21A voice^H6963 is heard^H8085 upon the bare heights^H8205, the weeping^H1065 and the supplications^H8469 of the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478; because they have perverted^H5753 their way^H1870, they have forgotten^H7911 Jehovah^H3068 their God^H430. 22Return^H7725, ye backsliding^H7726 children^H1121, I will heal^H7495 your backslidings^H4878. Behold, we are come^H857 unto thee; for thou art Jehovah^H3068 our God^H430. 23Truly^H403 in vain^H8267 is the help that is looked for from the hills^H1389, the tumult^H1995 on the mountains^H2022: truly^H403 in Jehovah^H3068 our God^H430 is the salvation^H8668 of Israel^H3478. 24But the shameful^H1322 thing hath devoured^H398 the labor^H3018 of our fathers^H1 from our youth^H5271, their flocks^H6629 and their herds^H1241, their sons^H1121 and their daughters^H1323. 25Let us lie down^H7901 in our shame^H1322, and let our confusion^H3639 cover^H3680 us; for we have sinned^H2398 against Jehovah^H3068 our God^H430, we and our fathers^H1, from our youth^H5271 even unto this day^H3117; and we have not obeyed^H8085 the voice^H6963 of Jehovah^H3068 our God^H430.
