Jeremiah 3:2-5

Living Bible

² Is there a single spot in all the land where you haven’t been defiled by your adulteries—your worshiping these other gods?^[a] You sit like a prostitute beside the road waiting for a client! You sit alone like a Bedouin in the desert. You have polluted the land with your vile prostitution. ³ That is why even the springtime rains have failed. For you are a prostitute and completely unashamed. ^4-5 And yet you say to me, “O Father, you have always been my Friend; surely you won’t be angry about such a little thing! Surely you will just forget it?” So you talk and keep right on doing all the evil that you can.
