Jeremiah 3:1
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Wages of Apostasy
3 If[a] a man divorces his wife
and she leaves him to marry another,
can he ever return to her?(A)
Wouldn’t such a land[b] become totally defiled?
But you!
You have played the prostitute with many partners(B)—
can you return to Me?(C)
This is the Lord’s declaration.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
20 Go up to Lebanon and cry out;
raise your voice in Bashan;
cry out from Abarim,(A)
for all your lovers[a] have been crushed.(B)
21 I spoke to you when you were secure.
You said, “I will not listen.”
This has been your way since youth;(C)
indeed, you have never listened to Me.
22 The wind will take charge of[b] all your shepherds,
and your lovers[c] will go into captivity.
Then you will be ashamed and humiliated(D)
because of all your evil.
