2 “Go and proclaim in the hearing of Jerusalem, Thus says the Lord,

6 The Lord said to me ^cin the days of King Josiah: “Have you seen what she did, that faithless one, Israel, how she went up ^don every high hill and under every green tree, and there played the whore? 7 And I thought, ‘After she has done all this she will return to me,’ but she did not return, and her treacherous ^esister Judah saw it. 8 She saw that for all the adulteries of that faithless one, Israel, I had sent her away with a ^fdecree of divorce. Yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but she too went and played the whore.
