6 And, in the days of king Josiah, the Lord said to me: “Have you not seen what the apostate Israel has done? She has brought herself up to every lofty mountain, and she has lain down under every leafy tree, and she has committed fornication there. 7 And when she had done all these things, I said: ‘Return to me.’ But she did not return. And her deceitful sister Judah saw this: 8 that because the apostate Israel had committed adultery, I had dismissed her and had given her a bill of divorce. Yet her deceitful sister Judah was not afraid. But she, too, went and committed fornication herself. Jeremiah 3:6-8, Catholic Public Domain Version. Public domain.
