4. Therefore at least at this time call to me: Thou art my father, the guide of my virginity:
5. Wilt thou be angry for ever, or wilt thou continue until the end? Behold, thou hast spoken, and hast done evil things, and hast been able.
6. And the Lord said to me in the days of king Josias: Hast thou seen what rebellious Israel hast done? she hath gone out of herself upon every high mountain, and under every green tree, and hath played the harlot there.
7. And when she had done all these things, I said: Return to me, and she did not return. And her treacherous sister Juda saw,
8. That because the rebellious Israel had played the harlot, I had put her away, and had given her a bill of divorce: yet her treacherous sister Juda was not afraid, but went and played the harlot also herself.
9. And by the facility of her fornication she defiled the land, and played the harlot with stones and with stocks.
10. And after all this, her treacherous sister Juda hath not returned to me with her whole heart, but with falsehood, saith the Lord.
