Jeremiah 3:8 CPDV

⁶  And, in the days of king Josiah, the Lord said to me: 'Have you not seen what the apostate Israel has done? She has brought herself up to every lofty mountain, and she has lain down under every leafy tree, and she has committed fornication there.

⁷  And when she had done all these things, I said: 'Return to me.' But she did not return. And her deceitful sister Judah saw this:

⁸  that because the apostate Israel had committed adultery, I had dismissed her and had given her a bill of divorce. Yet her deceitful sister Judah was not afraid. But she, too, went and committed fornication herself.

⁹  And by the act of her fornication, she defiled the land. For she committed adultery with that which is stone and wood.

¹⁰  And after all these things, her deceitful sister Judah has not returned to me with her whole heart, but with lies, says the Lord.'
