-\v 1 "I, Yahweh, instructed Moses to write that if a man divorces his wife and then she marries another man, her first husband certainly must not  take her back again to be his wife, because that would certainly  cause the whole nation to become unacceptable to me. But you have more idols than prostitutes have men whom they have slept with! So, why should I accept you if you return to me?—says Yahweh.

-\v 2 Look up at the barren hilltops. On every hilltop there are  idols that you have worshiped. It is as though they are all lovers with whom you have slept. It is as though you have sat along the roadsides like an Arab, waiting to attack and steal things from those who pass by. Because of worshiping idols and all the other wicked things that you have done, you have caused the entire land to become unacceptable to me.

 \v 3 That is why I have not sent you any rain at the times of the year when you needed it. But you are like prostitutes who are not at all ashamed for what they have done.
 \v 4 Now each of you says to me,
 \pi2 'You are my father! You have loved me ever since I was young!
-\v 5 So surely you will not  be angry with me forever!'

 \v 6 One day when Josiah was the king of Judah, Yahweh said to me,
-\pi "Have you seen what the people of Israel have done? They have turned away from me, like a woman who has abandoned her husband and sleeps with other men. They have gone up on every hilltop and under every big tree and worshiped idols there .

 \v 7 I thought that they would return to me, so I said to them,
 \pi2 'Come back to me!'
 \pi But they refused. The people of Judah were watching all of this.

-\v 8 So I sent the people of Israel away to other countries, like a man writes a note saying that he is divorcing his wife and then sends his wife away because she has committed adultery. The people of Judah saw what I did to them, but they are just like the people of Israel. They are not afraid of what I will do to them. They also have turned away from me and are worshiping idols like women who abandon their husbands and go to other men .

 \v 9 They did not care that worshiping idols offended me, so they have made the entire land unacceptable to me by worshiping idols of wood and stone.
 \v 10 The people of Judah have pretended to return to me, but they have not really done that. This is true because I, Yahweh, have said it."
