That is why I have not sent any rain on your land.
    Even the spring rains have not come.
But you still live like a proud prostitute.

You refuse to be ashamed of what you have done.

You still call me your Father.
You say, “You have always been my friend.

    But you continue to do as many evil things as you can.’

    Will your wrath continue forever?’
This is how you talk,
    but you do all the evil you can.”
