Jeremiah 3:8-10

Good News Translation

⁸ Judah also saw that I divorced Israel and sent her away because she had turned from me and had become a prostitute. But Judah, Israel's unfaithful sister, was not afraid. She too became a prostitute ⁹ and was not at all ashamed. She defiled the land, and she committed adultery by worshiping stones and trees. ¹⁰ And after all this, Judah, Israel's unfaithful sister, only pretended to return to me; she was not sincere. I, the Lord, have spoken.”
