Jeremiah 3:3-5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
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.(A)
4 Even now do you not call me, “My father,
you are the bridegroom of my youth?
5 Will he keep his wrath forever,
will he hold his grudge to the end?”
This is what you say; yet you do
all the evil you can.
Jeremiah 3:3-5
New International Version
3 Therefore the showers have been withheld,(A)
and no spring rains(B) have fallen.
Yet you have the brazen(C) look of a prostitute;
you refuse to blush with shame.(D)
4 Have you not just called to me:
‘My Father,(E) my friend from my youth,(F)
5 will you always be angry?(G)
Will your wrath continue forever?’
This is how you talk,
but you do all the evil you can.”
