Jeremiah 3:2-4

New Century Version

² “Look up to the bare hilltops, Judah.
    Is there any place where you have not been a prostitute?
You have sat by the road waiting for lovers,
    like an Arab in the desert.
You made the land unclean,
    because you did evil and were like a prostitute.
³ So the rain has not come,
    and there have not been any spring rains.
But your face still looks like the face of a prostitute.
    You refuse even to be ashamed of what you did.
⁴ Now you are calling to me,
    ‘My father, you have been my friend since I was young.
