Jeremiah 3:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 "If a man divorces his wife and 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.
3 That is why the rains have been withheld, and the spring rains have not come. Yet in spite of this you are obstinate as a prostitute. You refuse to be ashamed of what you have done.
4 Even now you say to me, 'You are my father! You have been my faithful companion ever since I was young.
5 You will not always be angry with me, will you? You will not be mad at me forever, will you?' That is what you say, but you continually do all the evil that you can."
6 When Josiah was king of Judah, the LORD said to me, "Jeremiah, you have no doubt seen what wayward Israel has done. You have seen how she went up to every high hill and under every green tree to give herself like a prostitute to other gods.
7 Yet even after she had done all that, I thought that she might come back to me. But she did not. Her sister, unfaithful Judah, saw what she did.
8 She also saw that I gave wayward Israel her divorce papers and sent her away because of her adulterous worship of other gods. Even after her unfaithful sister Judah had seen this, she still was not afraid, and she too went and gave herself like a prostitute to other gods.
9 Because she took her prostitution so lightly, she defiled the land through her adulterous worship of gods made of wood and stone.
10 In spite of all this, Israel's sister, unfaithful Judah, has not turned back to me with any sincerity; she has only pretended to do so," says the LORD.
11 Then the LORD said to me, "Under the circumstances, wayward Israel could even be considered less guilty than unfaithful Judah.
12 "Go and shout this message to my people in the countries in the north. Tell them, 'Come back to me, wayward Israel,' says the LORD. 'I will not continue to look on you with displeasure. For I am merciful,' says the LORD. 'I will not be angry with you forever.
13 However, you must confess that you have done wrong, and that you have rebelled against the LORD your God. You must confess that you have given yourself to foreign gods under every green tree, and have not obeyed my commands,' says the LORD.
14 "Come back to me, my wayward sons," says the LORD, "for I am your true master. If you do, I will take one of you from each town and two of you from each family group, and I will bring you back to Zion.
15 I will give you leaders who will be faithful to me. They will lead you with knowledge and insight.
16 In those days, your population will greatly increase in the land. At that time," says the LORD, "people will no longer talk about having the ark that contains the LORD's covenant with us. They will not call it to mind, remember it, or miss it. No, that will not be done any more!
17 At that time the city of Jerusalem will be called the LORD's throne. All nations will gather there in Jerusalem to honor the LORD's name. They will no longer follow the stubborn inclinations of their own evil hearts.
18 At that time the nation of Judah and the nation of Israel will be reunited. Together they will come back from a land in the north to the land that I gave to your ancestors as a permanent possession. "
19 "I thought to myself, 'Oh what a joy it would be for me to treat you like a son! What a joy it would be for me to give you a pleasant land, the most beautiful piece of property there is in all the world!' I thought you would call me, 'Father' and would never cease being loyal to me.
20 But, you have been unfaithful to me, nation of Israel, like an unfaithful wife who has left her husband," says the LORD.
21 "A noise is heard on the hilltops. It is the sound of the people of Israel crying and pleading to their gods. Indeed they have followed sinful ways; they have forgotten to be true to the LORD their God.
22 Come back to me, you wayward people. I want to cure your waywardness. Say, 'Here we are. We come to you because you are the LORD our God.
23 We know our noisy worship of false gods on the hills and mountains did not help us. We know that the LORD our God is the only one who can deliver Israel.
24 From earliest times our worship of that shameful god, Baal, has taken away all that our ancestors worked for. It has taken away our flocks and our herds, and even our sons and daughters.
25 Let us acknowledge our shame. Let us bear the disgrace that we deserve. For we have sinned against the LORD our God, both we and our ancestors. From earliest times to this very day we have not obeyed the LORD our God.'
1 They say, H559 If H2005 a man H376 put away H7971 H853 his wife, H802 and she go H1980 from H4480 H854 him , and become H1961 another H312 man's H376 , shall he return H7725 unto H413 her again H5750 ? shall not H3808 that H1931 land H776 be greatly polluted H2610 H2610 ? but thou H859 hast played the harlot H2181 with many H7227 lovers; H7453 yet return H7725 again to H413 me, saith H5002 the LORD. H3068
2 Lift up H5375 thine eyes H5869 unto H5921 the high places, H8205 and see H7200 where H375 thou hast not H3808 been lain H7901 with. In H5921 the ways H1870 hast thou sat H3427 for them , as the Arabian H6163 in the wilderness; H4057 and thou hast polluted H2610 the land H776 with thy whoredoms H2184 and with thy wickedness. H7451
3 Therefore the showers H7241 have been withheld, H4513 and there hath been H1961 no H3808 latter rain; H4456 and thou hadst a whore H802 H2181 's forehead, H4696 thou refusedst H3985 to be ashamed. H3637
4 Wilt thou not H3808 from this time H4480 H6258 cry H7121 unto me , My father, H1 thou H859 art the guide H441 of my youth H5271 ?
5 Will he reserve H5201 his anger forever H5769 ? will he keep H8104 it to the end H5331 ? Behold, H2009 thou hast spoken H1696 and done H6213 evil things H7451 as thou couldest. H3201
6 The LORD H3068 said H559 also unto H413 me in the days H3117 of Josiah H2977 the king, H4428 Hast thou seen H7200 that which H834 backsliding H4878 Israel H3478 hath done H6213 ? she H1931 is gone up H1980 upon H5921 every H3605 high H1364 mountain H2022 and under H8478 every H3605 green H7488 tree, H6086 and there H8033 hath played the harlot. H2181
7 And I said H559 after H310 she had done H6213 H853 all H3605 these H428 things , Turn H7725 thou unto H413 me . But she returned H7725 not. H3808 And her treacherous H901 sister H269 Judah H3063 saw H7200 it .
8 And I saw, H7200 when H3588 for H5921 all H3605 the causes H182 whereby H834 backsliding H4878 Israel H3478 committed adultery H5003 I had put her away, H7971 and given H5414 H413 her H853 a bill H5612 of divorce; H3748 yet her treacherous H898 sister H269 Judah H3063 feared H3372 not, H3808 but went H1980 and played the harlot H2181 also. H1571
9 And it came to pass H1961 through the lightness H4480 H6963 of her whoredom, H2184 that she defiled H2610 H853 the land, H776 and committed adultery H5003 with H854 stones H68 and with H854 stocks. H6086
10 And yet H1571 for all H3605 this H2063 her treacherous H901 sister H269 Judah H3063 hath not H3808 turned H7725 unto H413 me with her whole H3605 heart, H3820 but H3588 H518 feignedly, H8267 saith H5002 the LORD. H3068
11 And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 me , The backsliding H4878 Israel H3478 hath justified H6663 herself H5315 more than treacherous H4480 H898 Judah. H3063
12 Go H1980 and proclaim H7121 H853 these H428 words H1697 toward the north, H6828 and say, H559 Return, H7725 thou backsliding H4878 Israel, H3478 saith H5002 the LORD; H3068 and I will not H3808 cause mine anger H6440 to fall H5307 upon you: for H3588 I H589 am merciful, H2623 saith H5002 the LORD, H3068 and I will not H3808 keep H5201 anger forever. H5769
13 Only H389 acknowledge H3045 thine iniquity, H5771 that H3588 thou hast transgressed H6586 against the LORD H3068 thy God, H430 and hast scattered H6340 H853 thy ways H1870 to the strangers H2114 under H8478 every H3605 green H7488 tree, H6086 and ye have not H3808 obeyed H8085 my voice, H6963 saith H5002 the LORD. H3068
14 Turn H7725 , O backsliding H7726 children, H1121 saith H5002 the LORD; H3068 for H3588 I H595 am married H1166 unto you : and I will take H3947 you one H259 of a city H4480 H5892 , and two H8147 of a family H4480 H4940 , and I will bring H935 you to Zion: H6726
15 And I will give H5414 you pastors H7462 according to mine heart, H3820 which shall feed H7462 you with knowledge H1844 and understanding. H7919
16 And it shall come to pass, H1961 when H3588 ye be multiplied H7235 and increased H6509 in the land, H776 in those H1992 days, H3117 saith H5002 the LORD, H3068 they shall say H559 no H3808 more, H5750 The ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD: H3068 neither H3808 shall it come H5927 to H5921 mind: H3820 neither H3808 shall they remember H2142 it; neither H3808 shall they visit H6485 it ; neither H3808 shall that be done H6213 any more. H5750
17 At that H1931 time H6256 they shall call H7121 Jerusalem H3389 the throne H3678 of the LORD; H3068 and all H3605 the nations H1471 shall be gathered H6960 unto H413 it , to the name H8034 of the LORD, H3068 to Jerusalem: H3389 neither H3808 shall they walk H1980 any more H5750 after H310 the imagination H8307 of their evil H7451 heart. H3820
18 In those H1992 days H3117 the house H1004 of Judah H3063 shall walk H1980 with H5921 the house H1004 of Israel, H3478 and they shall come H935 together H3162 out of the land H4480 H776 of the north H6828 to H5921 the land H776 that H834 I have given for an inheritance H5157 unto H853 your fathers. H1
19 But I H595 said, H559 How H349 shall I put H7896 thee among the children, H1121 and give H5414 thee a pleasant H2532 land, H776 a goodly H6643 heritage H5159 of the hosts H6635 of nations H1471 ? and I said, H559 Thou shalt call H7121 me , My father; H1 and shalt not H3808 turn away H7725 from H4480 H310 me.
20 Surely H403 as a wife H802 treacherously departeth H898 from her husband H4480 H1167 , so H3651 have ye dealt treacherously H898 with me , O house H1004 of Israel, H3478 saith H5002 the LORD. H3068
21 A voice H6963 was heard H8085 upon H5921 the high places, H8205 weeping H1065 and supplications H8469 of the children H1121 of Israel: H3478 for H3588 they have perverted H5753 H853 their way, H1870 and they have forgotten H7911 H853 the LORD H3068 their God. H430
22 Return H7725 , ye backsliding H7726 children, H1121 and I will heal H7495 your backslidings. H4878 Behold, H2009 we come H857 unto thee; for H3588 thou H859 art the LORD H3068 our God. H430
23 Truly H403 in vain H8267 is salvation hoped for from the hills H4480 H1389 , and from the multitude H1995 of mountains: H2022 truly H403 in the LORD H3068 our God H430 is the salvation H8668 of Israel. H3478
24 For shame H1322 hath devoured H398 H853 the labor H3018 of our fathers H1 from our youth H4480 H5271 ; H853 their flocks H6629 and their herds, H1241 H853 their sons H1121 and their daughters. H1323
25 We lie down H7901 in our shame, H1322 and our confusion H3639 covereth H3680 us: for H3588 we have sinned H2398 against the LORD H3068 our God, H430 we H587 and our fathers, H1 from our youth H4480 H5271 even unto H5704 this H2088 day, H3117 and have not H3808 obeyed H8085 the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068 our God.
