her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with
stones and with stocks. And yet for all this her treacherous sister
Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly,
saith the Lord. And the Lord said unto me, The backsliding Israel
hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah. Go and proclaim
these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding
Israel, saith the Lord; and I will not cause mine anger to fall
upon you: for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep
anger for ever. Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast
transgressed against the Lord thy God, and hast scattered thy ways
to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my

soul.

thou repent.
