²⁰ But like a woman unfaithful to her husband,
    so you, Israel, have been unfaithful^(A) to me,”
declares the Lord.

²¹ A cry is heard on the barren heights,^(A)
    the weeping^(B) and pleading of the people of Israel,
because they have perverted their ways
    and have forgotten^(C) the Lord their God.
