³ Turn your ear, and come to me; hear, and your soul shall live: and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

²¹ She calls at the head of noisy places. At the entrance of the city gates, she utters her words:

¹¹ But my people didn't listen to my voice. Israel desired none of me.

¹² So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, That they might walk in their own counsels.
