Jeremiah 3:8
I had put her away - Given them up into the hands of the Assyrians.
A Call to Repentance
6 The Lord said also to me in the days of Josiah the king: “Have you seen what abacksliding Israel has done? She has bgone up on every high mountain and under every green tree, and there played the harlot.
7 aAnd I said, after she had done all these things, ‘Return to Me.’ But she did not return. And her treacherous bsister Judah saw it.
8 Then I saw that afor all the causes for which backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had bput her away and given her a certificate of divorce; cyet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but went and played the harlot also.
9 So it came to pass, through her casual harlotry, that she adefiled the land and committed adultery with bstones and trees.
10 And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah has not turned to Me awith her whole heart, but in pretense,” says the Lord.
11 Then the Lord said to me, a“Backsliding Israel has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.
