Jeremiah 3:3-5

Common English Bible

³ That’s why the showers have failed
    and the spring rains have ceased.
Still you act like a brazen prostitute^[a]
    who refuses to blush.
⁴ At the same time you say to me,
    “My father, my friend since youth,
⁵         will you stay angry forever?
        Will you continue to be furious?”
This is what you say
    while you do as much evil as you possibly can.
