‘How I would set you among [a]My sons
And give you a pleasant land,
The most (A)beautiful inheritance of the nations!’
And I said, ‘You shall call Me, (B)My Father,
And not turn away from following Me.’
20 However, as a woman treacherously leaves her lover,
So you have (C)dealt treacherously with Me,
House of Israel,” declares the Lord.

21 A voice is heard on the (D)bare heights,
The weeping, the pleading of the sons of Israel.
Because they have perverted their way,
They have (E)forgotten the Lord their God.
