Jeremiah 3:3-5

Revised Standard Version

³ Therefore the showers have been withheld,
    and the spring rain has not come;
yet you have a harlot’s brow,
    you refuse to be ashamed.
⁴ Have you not just now called to me,
    ‘My father, thou art the friend of my youth—
⁵ will he be angry for ever,
    will he be indignant to the end?’
Behold, you have spoken,
    but you have done all the evil that you could.”
