Jeremiah 3:7 ASV

⁵  Will he retain `his anger' for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and hast done evil things, and hast had thy way.

⁶  Moreover Jehovah said unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot.

⁷  And I said after she had done all these things, She will return unto me; but she returned not: and her treacherous sister Judah saw it.

⁸  And I saw, when, for this very cause that backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a bill of divorcement, yet treacherous Judah her sister feared not; but she also went and played the harlot.

⁹  And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that the land was polluted, and she committed adultery with stones and with stocks.
