1If a man divorces his wife
and she leaves him and marries another man,
can he return to her again?
Wouldn't acting like that completely defile the land?
But you have lived like a prostitute with many lovers.
And now you want to return to me?
declares the Lord .
2Look up to the bare hills and see.
Is there any place where you have not engaged in sex?
You sat by the roadsides waiting for lovers
like a nomad in the desert.
You have defiled the land with your prostitution and wickedness.
3That is why the showers have been withheld,
and the spring rains have not come.
Yet you have the shameless look of a prostitute.
You refuse to be ashamed.
4Did you not just call to me, “My father!
You are my close friend from my youth!”?
5You say, “Will he be angry for so long?
Will he keep up his wrath forever?”
Yes, that is what you say,
but you do whatever evil you can.
6In the days of King Josiah the Lord asked me:
11Then the Lord said to me:
Unfaithful Israel is more righteous than treacherous Judah.
12Go, proclaim these words to the north.
Return, unfaithful Israel, declares the Lord .
I will no longer frown on you,
because I am merciful, declares the Lord .
I will not be angry forever.
13At least acknowledge your guilt.
Admit that you rebelled against the Lord your God.
You have distributed your favors to strangers under every green tree,
and you have not listened to me, declares the Lord .
shameful gods have consumed the results of our fathers' hard work,
their sheep and cattle,
and their sons and daughters.
