Jeremiah 3:3-5

New Catholic Bible

³ Therefore, the rain showers were withheld
    and the spring rains have not fallen.
Yet you have the brazen boldness of a prostitute,
    and you refuse to blush with shame.
⁴ Not so long ago you addressed me,
    “My Father, the beloved friend of my youth,
⁵ will you be angry with me forever
    and continue your wrath toward me to the end?”
This is how you speak,
    but you continue to be obstinate
    and to do every evil you can.
