Jeremiah 3:2-3
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 Raise your eyes to the heights, and look,
where have men not lain with you?
Along the roadways you waited for them
like an Arabian[a] in the wilderness.
You defiled the land
by your wicked prostitution.(A)
3 Therefore the showers were withheld,
the spring rain did not fall.
But because you have a prostitute’s brow,
you refused to be ashamed.(B)
