God ^(F1)says, "^(C1)If a husband divorces his wife And she leaves him And becomes another man's wife, Will he return to her again? Would that land not be completely defiled? But you ^(C2)are a prostitute with many ^(F2)lovers; Yet you ^(C3)turn to Me," declares the LORD.

Then the LORD said to me in the days of King Josiah, "Have you seen what faithless Israel did? She ^(C1)went up on every high hill and under every leafy tree, and she prostituted herself there.

"Yet ^(C1)I ^(F1)thought, 'After she has done all these things she will return to Me'; but she did not return, and her ^(C2)treacherous sister Judah saw it.

"And I saw that for all the ^(F1)adulteries of faithless Israel, I had sent her away and ^(C1)given her a certificate of divorce, yet her ^(C2)treacherous sister Judah did not fear; but she went and prostituted herself also.
