Jeremiah 3:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 When I saw, how that by all occasions rebellious Israel had played the harlot, I cast [a]her away, and gave her a bill of divorcement: yet her rebellious sister Judah was not afraid, but she went also and played the harlot.
9 So that for the [b]lightness of her whoredom she hath even defiled the land: for she hath committed fornication with stones and stocks.
10 Nevertheless for all this, her rebellious sister Judah hath not returned unto me with [c]her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the Lord.
