Jeremiah 3:7-11

English Standard Version

⁷ And I thought, ‘After she has done all this she will return to me,’ but she did not return, and her treacherous ^(A)sister Judah saw it. ⁸ She saw that for all the adulteries of that faithless one, Israel, ^(B)I had sent her away with ^(C)a decree of divorce. ^(D)Yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but she too went ^(E)and played the whore. ⁹ Because she took her whoredom lightly, she polluted the land, committing adultery with ^(F)stone and tree. ¹⁰ Yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah did not return to me ^(G)with her whole heart, but in pretense, declares the Lord.”

¹¹ And the Lord said to me, ^(H)“Faithless Israel has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.
