Jeremiah 3:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and behold, where thou hast not played the harlot: thou hast sat waiting for them in the ways, as the [a]Arabian in the wilderness: and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms, and with thy malice.
3 Therefore the showers have been restrained, and the [b]latter rain came not, and thou haddest a [c]whore’s forehead: thou wouldest not be ashamed.
4 Didst thou not still cry [d]unto me, Thou art my father, and the guide of my youth?
