Jeremiah 2:2

I remember the loyalty of your youth,(A)
your love as a bride—
how you followed Me in the wilderness,
in a land not sown.
Jeremiah 3:1

Wages of Apostasy
3 If[a] a man divorces his wife
and she leaves him to marry another,
can he ever return to her?(A)
Wouldn’t such a land[b] become totally defiled?
But you!
You have played the prostitute with many partners(B)—
can you return to Me?(C)
This is the Lord’s declaration.
