Jeremiah 3:7-9

New King James Version

^7 (A)And I said, after she had done all these things, ‘Return to Me.’ But she did not return. And her treacherous ^(B)sister Judah saw it. ⁸ Then I saw that ^(C)for all the causes for which backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had ^(D)put her away and given her a certificate of divorce; ^(E)yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but went and played the harlot also. ⁹ So it came to pass, through her casual harlotry, that she ^(F)defiled the land and committed adultery with ^(G)stones and trees.
