Jeremiah 3:3-5

International Standard Version

³ This is why the rain has been withheld
    and there are no spring showers.
Yet you have a harlot’s look^[a]
    and you refuse to be ashamed.
⁴ Have you not just called out to me,
    ‘My father, you are the friend of my youth—
⁵ will he hold on to his anger forever,
    will he persist in his wrath to the end?’
Look, you have spoken and done evil things,
    and you have succeeded in it.”^[b]
