You sinned, so the rain has not come.
    There has not been any springtime rains.
But still you refuse to be ashamed.
    The look on your face is like that of a prostitute who refuses to be ashamed.
But didn’t you just call me ‘Father’?
    Didn’t you say, ‘You have been my friend since I was a child’?
You also said, ‘God will not always be angry with me.
    His anger will not continue forever.’

“Judah, you say that,
    but you do as much evil as you can.”

    and no spring rains(B) have fallen.

    you refuse to blush with shame.(D)
Have you not just called to me:
    ‘My Father,(E) my friend from my youth,(F)
will you always be angry?(G)
    Will your wrath continue forever?’
This is how you talk,
    but you do all the evil you can.”
