¹¹ For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, says Yahweh.

²⁰ Surely as a wife treacherously departs from her husband, so have you dealt treacherously with me, house of Israel, says Yahweh.

⁸ Yes, you didn't hear; yes, you didn't know; yes, from of old your ear was not opened: for I knew that you did deal very treacherously, and was called a transgressor from the womb.

⁶ Moreover Yahweh said to me in the days of Josiah the king, Have you seen that which backsliding Israel has done? she is gone up on every high mountain and under every green tree, and there has played the prostitute.

⁷ I said after she had done all these things, She will return to me; but she didn't return: and her treacherous sister Judah saw it.

⁸ I saw, when, for this very cause that backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a bill of divorce, yet treacherous Judah, her sister, didn't fear; but she also went and played the prostitute.

⁹ It happened through the lightness of her prostitution, that the land was polluted, and she committed adultery with stones and with stocks.

¹⁰ Yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah has not returned to me with her whole heart, but only in pretense, says Yahweh.

¹¹ Yahweh said to me, Backsliding Israel has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.

⁷ They are unfaithful to Yahweh; For they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon will devour them with their fields.

⁷ But they, like Adam, have broken the covenant. They were unfaithful to me, there.
