Jeremiah 3

1 God's great mercy in Judah's vile whoredom. 6 Judah is worse than Israel. 12 The promises of the Gospel to the penitent. 20 Israel reproved, and called by God, maketh a solemn confession of their sins.

 3:1 ¶ They say, 559 z8800 If x2005 a man 376 put away 7971 z8762 x853 his wife, 802 and she go 1980 z8804 from x4480 x854 him, and become x1961 another 312 man's, 376 shall he return x7725 unto x413 her again? y7725 z8799 x5750 shall not x3808 that x1931 land 776 be greatly y2610 z8800 polluted? 2610 z8799 but thou x859 hast played the harlot 2181 z8804 with many 7227 lovers; 7453 yet return x7725 again y7725 z8800 to x413 me, saith 5002 z8803 the LORD. 3068

 3:2 Lift up 5375 z8798 thine eyes 5869 unto x5921 the high places, 8205 and see 7200 z8798 where 375 thou hast not x3808 been lain 7901 z8795 y7693 z8676 with. In x5921 the ways 1870 hast thou sat 3427 z8804 for them, as the Arabian 6163 in the wilderness; 4057 and thou hast polluted 2610 z8686 the land 776 with thy whoredoms 2184 and with thy wickedness. 7451

 3:3 Therefore the showers 7241 have been withheld, 4513 z8735 and there hath been x1961 no x3808 latter rain; 4456 and thou hadst a whore's 2181 802 z8802 forehead, 4696 thou refusedst 3985 z8765 to be ashamed. 3637 z8736

 3:4 Wilt thou not x3808 from this time x4480 x6258 cry 7121 z8804 unto me, My father, 1 thou x859 [art] the guide 441 of my youth? 5271

 3:5 Will he reserve 5201 z8799 [his anger] forever? 5769 will he keep 8104 z8799 [it] to the end? 5331 Behold, x2009 thou hast spoken 1696 z8765 and done 6213 z8799 evil things 7451 as thou couldest. 3201 z8799

 3:6 ¶ The LORD 3068 said 559 z8799 also unto x413 me in the days 3117 of Josiah 2977 the king, 4428 Hast thou seen 7200 z8804 [that] which x834 backsliding 4878 Israel 3478 hath done? 6213 z8804 she x1931 is gone up 1980 z8802 upon x5921 every x3605 high 1364 mountain 2022 and under 8478 every x3605 green 7488 tree, 6086 and there x8033 hath played the harlot. 2181 z8799

 3:7 And I said 559 z8799 after 310 she had done 6213 z8800 x853 all x3605 these x428 [things], Turn 7725 z8799 thou unto x413 me. But she returned 7725 z8804 not. x3808 And her treacherous 901 sister 269 Judah 3063 saw 7200 z8799 [it].

 3:8 And I saw, 7200 z8799 when x3588 for x5921 all x3605 the causes 182 whereby x834 backsliding 4878 Israel 3478 committed adultery 5003 z8765 I had put her away, 7971 z8765 and given 5414 z8799 x413 her x853 a bill 5612 of divorce; 3748 yet her treacherous 898 z8802 sister 269 Judah 3063 feared 3372 z8804 not, x3808 but went y3212 z8799 x1980 and played the harlot 2181 z8799 also. x1571

 3:9 And it came to pass x1961 through the lightness 6963 x4480 of her whoredom, 2184 that she defiled 2610 z8799 x853 the land, 776 and committed adultery 5003 z8799 with x854 stones 68 and with x854 stocks. 6086

 3:10 And yet x1571 for all x3605 this x2063 her treacherous 901 sister 269 Judah 3063 hath not x3808 turned 7725 z8804 unto x413 me with her whole x3605 heart, 3820 but x3588 x518 feignedly, 8267 saith 5002 z8803 the LORD. 3068

 3:11 And the LORD 3068 said 559 z8799 unto x413 me, The backsliding 4878 Israel 3478 hath justified 6663 z8765 herself 5315 more than treacherous 898 z8802 x4480 Judah. 3063

 3:12 ¶ Go 1980 z8800 and proclaim 7121 z8804 x853 these x428 words 1697 toward the north, 6828 and say, 559 z8804 Return, 7725 z8798 thou backsliding 4878 Israel, 3478 saith 5002 z8803 the LORD; 3068 [and] I will not x3808 cause mine anger 6440 to fall 5307 z8686 upon you: for x3588 I x589 [am] merciful, 2623 saith 5002 z8803 the LORD, 3068 [and] I will not x3808 keep 5201 z8799 [anger] forever. 5769

 3:13 Only x389 acknowledge 3045 z8798 thine iniquity, 5771 that x3588 thou hast transgressed 6586 z8804 against the LORD 3068 thy God, 430 and hast scattered 6340 z8762 x853 thy ways 1870 to the strangers 2114 z8801 under x8478 every x3605 green 7488 tree, 6086 and ye have not x3808 obeyed 8085 z8804 my voice, 6963 saith 5002 z8803 the LORD. 3068

 3:14 Turn, 7725 z8798 O backsliding 7726 children, 1121 saith 5002 z8803 the LORD; 3068 for x3588 I x595 am married 1166 z8804 unto you: and I will take 3947 z8804 you one 259 of a city, 5892 x4480 and two 8147 of a family, 4940 x4480 and I will bring 935 z8689 you to Zion: 6726

 3:15 And I will give 5414 z8804 you pastors 7462 z8802 according to mine heart, 3820 which shall feed 7462 z8804 you with knowledge 1844 and understanding. 7919 z8687

 3:16 And it shall come to pass, x1961 when x3588 ye be multiplied 7235 z8799 and increased 6509 z8804 in the land, 776 in those x1992 days, 3117 saith 5002 z8803 the LORD, 3068 they shall say 559 z8799 no x3808 more, x5750 The ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD: 3068 neither x3808 shall it come 5927 z8799 to x5921 mind: 3820 neither x3808 shall they remember 2142 z8799 it; neither x3808 shall they visit 6485 z8799 [it]; neither x3808 shall [that] be done 6213 z8735 any more. x5750

 3:17 At that x1931 time 6256 they shall call 7121 z8799 Jerusalem 3389 the throne 3678 of the LORD; 3068 and all x3605 the nations 1471 shall be gathered 6960 z8738 unto x413 it, to the name 8034 of the LORD, 3068 to Jerusalem: 3389 neither x3808 shall they walk y3212 z8799 x1980 any more x5750 after 310 the imagination 8307 of their evil 7451 heart. 3820

 3:18 In those x1992 days 3117 the house 1004 of Judah 3063 shall walk y3212 z8799 x1980 with x5921 the house 1004 of Israel, 3478 and they shall come 935 z8799 together 3162 out of the land 776 x4480 of the north 6828 to x5921 the land 776 that x834 I have given for an inheritance 5157 z8689 unto x853 your fathers. 1

 3:19 But I x595 said, 559 z8804 How x349 shall I put 7896 z8799 thee among the children, 1121 and give 5414 z8799 thee a pleasant 2532 land, 776 a goodly 6643 heritage 5159 of the hosts 6635 of nations? 1471 and I said, 559 z8799 Thou shalt call 7121 z8799 me, My father; 1 and shalt not x3808 turn away 7725 z8799 from x4480 x310 me. y310

 3:20 ¶ Surely 403 [as] a wife 802 treacherously y898 z8804 departeth x898 from her husband, y7453 x4480 x1167 so x3651 have ye dealt treacherously 898 z8804 with me, O house 1004 of Israel, 3478 saith 5002 z8803 the LORD. 3068

 3:21 A voice 6963 was heard 8085 z8738 upon x5921 the high places, 8205 weeping 1065 [and] supplications 8469 of the children 1121 of Israel: 3478 for x3588 they have perverted 5753 z8689 x853 their way, 1870 [and] they have forgotten 7911 z8804 x853 the LORD 3068 their God. 430

 3:22 Return, 7725 z8798 ye backsliding 7726 children, 1121 [and] I will heal 7495 z8799 your backslidings. 4878 Behold, x2009 we come 857 z8804 unto thee; for x3588 thou x859 [art] the LORD 3068 our God. 430

 3:23 Truly 403 in vain 8267 [is salvation hoped for] from the hills, 1389 x4480 [and from] the multitude 1995 of mountains: 2022 truly 403 in the LORD 3068 our God 430 [is] the salvation 8668 of Israel. 3478

 3:24 For shame 1322 hath devoured 398 z8804 x853 the labor 3018 of our fathers 1 from our youth; 5271 x4480 x853 their flocks 6629 and their herds, 1241 x853 their sons 1121 and their daughters. 1323

 3:25 We lie down 7901 z8799 in our shame, 1322 and our confusion 3639 covereth 3680 z8762 us: for x3588 we have sinned 2398 z8804 against the LORD 3068 our God, 430 we x587 and our fathers, 1 from our youth 5271 x4480 even unto x5704 this x2088 day, 3117 and have not x3808 obeyed 8085 z8804 the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 our God. 430
