Footnotes

  1. Jeremiah 3:3 Or You have a prostitute’s forehead.

Therefore the showers have been withheld,(A)
    and no spring rains(B) have fallen.
Yet you have the brazen(C) look of a prostitute;
    you refuse to blush with shame.(D)

will you always be angry?(G)
    Will your wrath continue forever?’
This is how you talk,
    but you do all the evil you can.”
