Jeremiah 3:3-5
Common English Bible
3 That’s why the showers have failed
and the spring rains have ceased.
Still you act like a brazen prostitute[a]
who refuses to blush.
4 At the same time you say to me,
“My father, my friend since youth,
5 will you stay angry forever?
Will you continue to be furious?”
This is what you say
while you do as much evil as you possibly can.

Jeremiah 3:3-5
New International Version
3 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)
4 Have you not just called to me:
‘My Father,(E) my friend from my youth,(F)
5 will you always be angry?(G)
Will your wrath continue forever?’
This is how you talk,
but you do all the evil you can.”
