Open this scene in the reader →6And Yahweh said to me during the reign of King Josiah, “Have you seen what faithless Israel has done? She went to every high hill and beneath every green tree, and there she prostituted herself.”
7I thought that after she had done all these things she would return to me, but she did not return. Her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
8I saw that, although I had sent faithless Israel away and given her a certificate of divorce because of all her acts of adultery, her treacherous sister Judah was not afraid; she too went and prostituted herself.
9Because she treated her prostitution so lightly, she polluted the land and committed adultery with idols of stone and wood.
10“Yet in spite of all this, her treacherous sister Judah did not return to me with all her heart, but only pretended to,” declares Yahweh.
