1. “If a man divorces his wifeand she leaves him and becomes another man’s wife,he may not take her back again.Doing that would utterly defile the land.But you, Israel, have given yourself as a prostitute to many gods.So what makes you think you can return to me?”says the Lord.
2. “Look up at the hilltops and consider this.You have had sex with other gods on every one of them.You waited for those gods like a thief lying in wait in the desert.You defiled the land by your wicked prostitution to other gods.
