Jeremiah 3:3-5

New Living Translation

³ That’s why even the spring rains have failed.
    For you are a brazen prostitute and completely shameless.
⁴ Yet you say to me,
    ‘Father, you have been my guide since my youth.
⁵ Surely you won’t be angry forever!
    Surely you can forget about it!’
So you talk,
    but you keep on doing all the evil you can.”
