Jeremiah 3:4-8 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

4. "Have you not just now called to Me, 'My Father, You are the friend of my youth?

5. 'Will He be angry forever? Will He be indignant to the end?' Behold, you have spoken And have done evil things, And you have had your way."

6. Then the Lord said to me in the days of Josiah the king, "Have you seen what faithless Israel did? She went up on every high hill and under every green tree, and she was a harlot there.

7. I thought, 'After she has done all these things she will return to Me'; but she did not return, and her treacherous sister Judah saw it.

8. And I saw that for all the adulteries of faithless Israel, I had sent her away and given her a writ of divorce, yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear; but she went and was a harlot also.
