New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Jeremiah 3:2-3
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 Raise your eyes to the heights, and look,
where have men not lain with you?
Along the roadways you waited for them
like an Arabian[a] in the wilderness.
You defiled the land
by your wicked prostitution.(A)
3 Therefore the showers were withheld,
the spring rain did not fall.
But because you have a prostitute’s brow,
you refused to be ashamed.(B)

Jeremiah 3:2-3
New International Version
2 “Look up to the barren heights(A) and see.
Is there any place where you have not been ravished?
By the roadside(B) you sat waiting for lovers,
sat like a nomad in the desert.
You have defiled the land(C)
with your prostitution(D) and wickedness.
3 Therefore the showers have been withheld,(E)
and no spring rains(F) have fallen.
Yet you have the brazen(G) look of a prostitute;
you refuse to blush with shame.(H)
