Israel Is Shameless
And she goes from him
And becomes another man’s,
aMay he return to her again?’
Would not that bland be greatly polluted?
But you have cplayed the harlot with many lovers;
dYet return to Me,” says the Lord.
Where have you not1 lain with men?
bBy the road you have sat for them
Like an Arabian in the wilderness;
cAnd you have polluted the land
With your harlotries and your wickedness.
And there has been no latter rain.
You have had a bharlot’s forehead;
You refuse to be ashamed.
Will He keep it to the end?’
Behold, you have spoken and done evil things,
As you were able.”
