Jeremiah 3:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶ The Lord spoke to me while Josiah was king of Judah. He said,

‘Look at what the Israelites have done. They have not been faithful to me. They have worshipped other gods under every big tree and on every high hill. Israel has been like a wife who is not faithful to her husband. ⁷ I thought that one day she would come back to me. But she did not return. Israel's sister, Judah, saw what Israel did.^{[a] 8} Israel was not faithful to me and she served other gods. So I sent her away, like a husband may send his wife away if she is not faithful to him. Judah saw what happened to Israel, but she was not afraid. Like a prostitute, she also went to find other gods that she could serve.
