And your throat from thirst;
But you said, ‘(A)It is [a]hopeless!
No! For I have (B)loved strangers,
And I will walk after them.’

And she leaves him
And becomes another man’s wife,

Yet you (C)turn to Me,” declares the Lord.

  1. Jeremiah 3:1 Lit saying
  2. Jeremiah 3:1 Lit companions

20 Go up to Lebanon and cry out,
And raise your voice in Bashan;
Cry out also from (A)Abarim,
For all your (B)lovers have been crushed.
21 I spoke to you in your prosperity;
But (C)you said, ‘I will not listen!’
(D)This has been your way (E)from your youth,
That you have not obeyed My voice.
22 The wind will sweep away all your (F)shepherds,
And your (G)lovers will go into captivity;
Then you will certainly be (H)ashamed and humiliated
Because of all your wickedness.
