1. If a man divorces his wifeand she leaves himand then becomes the wife of another,Can she return to the first?Would not this land be wholly defiled?But you have played the prostitute with many lovers,and yet you would return to me!—oracle of the Lord.
2. Raise your eyes to the heights, and look,where have men not lain with you?Along the roadways you waited for themlike an Arabian in the wilderness.You defiled the landby your wicked prostitution.
3. Therefore the showers were withheld,the spring rain did not fall.But because you have a prostitute’s brow,you refused to be ashamed.
