Jeremiah 3:8-11

And I saw
<07200> (8799)_,

when for all the causes
<0182>

whereby backsliding
<04878>

Israel
<03478>

committed adultery
<05003> (8765)

I had put her away
<07971> (8765)_,

and given
<05414> (8799)

her a bill
<05612>

of divorce
<03748>_;

yet her treacherous
<0898> (8802)

sister
<0269>

Judah
<03063>

feared
<03372> (8804)

not, but went
<03212> (8799)

and played the harlot
<02181> (8799)

also.

And it came to pass through the lightness
<06963>

of her whoredom
<02184>_,

that she defiled
<02610> (8799)

the land
<0776>_,

and committed adultery
<05003> (8799)

with stones
<068>

and with stocks
<06086>_.

{lightness: or, fame}

And yet for all this her treacherous
<0901>

sister
<0269>

Judah
<03063>

hath not turned
<07725> (8804)

unto me with her whole heart
<03820>_,

but feignedly
<08267>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

{feignedly: Heb. in falsehood}

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, The backsliding
<04878>

Israel
<03478>

hath justified
<06663> (8765)

herself
<05315>

more than treacherous
<0898> (8802)

Judah
<03063>_.
