Jeremiah 3:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the [a]North, into the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.
19 But I said, How did I take thee for children, and give thee a pleasant land, even the glorious heritage of the armies of the heathen, and say, Thou shalt call me, saying, My father, and shall not turn from me?
20 But as a woman rebelleth against her [b]husband: so have ye rebelled against me, O house of Israel, saith the Lord.
