NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Jeremiah 3

The Polluted Land

1

God  1saysh559, " aIfh2005 a husbandh376 divorcesh7971 his wifeh802 And she goesh1980 from him And belongsh1961 to anotherh312 manh376, Will he stillh5750 returnh7725 to her? Will not that landh776 be completelyh2610  2pollutedh2610? But you  bare a harloth2181 with manyh7227a  3loversh7453; Yet you  cturnh7725 to Me," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068.

2

"Lifth5375 up your eyesh5869 to the  abareh8205 heightsh8205 and seeh7200; Whereh375 have you not been violatedh7693? By the roadsh1870 you have  bsath3427 for them Like an Arabh6163b in the deserth4057b, And you have  cpollutedh2610 a landh776 With your harlotryh2183 and with your wickednessh7463a.

3

"Therefore the  ashowersh7241 have been withheldh4513, And there has beenh1961 noh3808 springh4456 rainh4456. Yet you hadh1961 a  bharlot'sh802h2181 foreheadh4696; You refusedh3985 to be ashamedh3637.

4

"Have you not just nowh6258 calledh7121 to Me, ` aMy Fatherh1, You are the  1 bfriendh441a of my  cyouthh5271?

5

aWill He be angryh5201 foreverh5769? Will He  1be indignanth8104 to the endh5331?' Beholdh2009, you have spokenh1696 And have doneh6213a evilh7451a thingsh7451a, And you have  2hadh3201 your wayh3201."

Faithless Israel

6

Then the LORDh3068 saidh559 to me in the daysh3117 of Josiahh2977 the kingh4428, "Have you seenh7200 whath834 faithlessh4878 Israelh3478 didh6213a? She  awenth1980 up on everyh3605 highh1364 hillh2022 and underh8478 everyh3605 greenh7488 treeh6086, and she was a harloth2181 thereh8033.

7

aI  1thoughth559, `Afterh310 she has doneh6213a allh3605 theseh428 thingsh428 she will returnh7725 to Me'; but she did not returnh7725, and her  btreacheroush901 sisterh269 Judahh3063 sawh7200 it.

8

"And I sawh7200 that for allh3605 the adulteriesh5003 of faithlessh4878 Israelh3478, I had senth7971 her awayh7971 and  agivenh5414 her a writh5612 of divorceh3748, yet her  btreacheroush898 sisterh269 Judahh3063 did not fearh3372a; but she wenth1980 and was a harloth2181 alsoh1571.

9

"Becauseh4480 of the lightnessh7032b of her harlotryh2184, she  apollutedh2610 the landh776 and committedh5003 adulteryh5003 with  bstonesh68 and treesh6086.

10

"Yeth1571 in spite of allh3605 thish384 her treacheroush901 sisterh269 Judahh3063 did not returnh7725 to Me with allh3605 her hearth3820, but ratherh3588h518 in  adeceptionh8267," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068.

God Invites Repentance

11

And the LORDh3068 saidh559 to me, " aFaithlessh4878 Israelh3478 has provedh6663 herselfh5315 moreh4480 righteoush6663 thanh4480 treacheroush898 Judahh3063.

12

"Goh1980 and proclaimh7121 theseh428 wordsh1697 toward the northh6828 and sayh559, ` aReturnh7725, faithlessh4878 Israelh3478,' declaresh5002 the LORDh3068; ` bI will not  1lookh5307 upon you in anger. For I am  cgracioush2623,' declaresh5002 the LORDh3068; `I will not be angryh5201 foreverh5769.

13

`Onlyh389  1 aacknowledgeh3045 your iniquityh5771, That you have transgressedh6586 against the LORDh3068 your Godh430 And have  bscatteredh6340 your  2favorsh1870 to the strangersh2114a  cunderh8478 everyh3605 greenh7488 treeh6086, And you have not obeyedh8085 My voiceh6963,' declaresh5002 the LORDh3068.

14

`Returnh7725, O faithlessh7726 sonsh1121,' declaresh5002 the LORDh3068; `For I am a  amasterh1166 to you, And I will takeh3947 you oneh259 from a cityh5892b and twoh8147 from a familyh4940, And  bI will bringh935 you to Zionh6726.'

15

"Then I will giveh5414 you  ashepherdsh7462a after My own hearth3820, who will  bfeedh7462a you on knowledgeh1844 and understandingh7919a.

16

"It shall be in thoseh1992a daysh3117 whenh3588 you are multipliedh7235a and increasedh6509 in the landh776," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "they will  anoh3808 longerh5750 sayh559, `The arkh727 of the covenanth1285 of the LORDh3068.' And it will not comeh5927 to mindh3820, norh3808 will they rememberh2142 it, norh3808 will they missh6485 it, norh3808 will it be madeh6213a againh5750.

17

"At that timeh6256 they will callh7121 Jerusalemh3389 `The  aThroneh3678 of the LORDh3068,' and  ballh3605 the nationsh1471 will be gatheredh6960b to it, to Jerusalemh3389, for the  cnameh8034 of the LORDh3068; norh3808 will they  dwalkh1980 anymoreh5750 afterh310 the stubbornnessh8307 of their evilh7451a hearth3820.

18

aIn thoseh1992a daysh3117 the househ1004 of Judahh3063 will walkh1980 with the househ1004 of Israelh3478, and they will comeh935 togetherh3164a  bfrom the landh776 of the northh6828 to the  clandh776 that I gaveh5157 your fathersh1 as an inheritanceh5157.

19

"Then I saidh559, `Howh349 I would seth7896 you among  1My sonsh1121 And giveh5414 you a pleasanth2532 landh776, The mosth6635  abeautifulh6643a inheritanceh5159 of the nationsh1471!' And I saidh559, `You shall callh7121 Me,  bMy Fatherh1, And not turnh7725 awayh7725 from followingh310 Me.'

20

"Surelyh403, as a womanh802 treacherouslyh898 departs from her  1loverh7453, Soh3651 you have  adealth898 treacherouslyh898 with Me, O househ1004 of Israelh3478," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068.

21

A voiceh6963 is heardh8085 on the  abareh8205 heightsh8205, The weepingh1065 and the supplicationsh8469 of the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478; Becauseh3588 they have pervertedh5753a their wayh1870, They have  bforgottenh7911 the LORDh3068 their Godh430.

22

"Returnh7725, O faithlessh7726 sonsh1121,  aI will healh7495 your faithlessnessh4878." "Beholdh2009, we comeh857 to You; For You are the LORDh3068 our Godh430.

23

"Surelyh403,  athe hillsh1389 are a deceptionh8267, A tumulth1995 on the mountainsh2022. Surelyh403 in the  bLORDh3068 our Godh430 Is the salvationh8668 of Israelh3478.

24

"But  athe shamefulh1322 thingh1322 has consumedh398 the laborh3018 of our fathersh1 sinceh4480 our youthh5271, their flocksh6629 and their herdsh1241, their sonsh1121 and their daughtersh1323.

25

"Let us lieh7901 downh7901 in our  ashameh1322, and let our humiliationh3639 coverh3680 us; for we have sinnedh2398 against the LORDh3068 our Godh430, we and our fathersh1,  bfrom our youthh5271 even to thish2088 dayh3117. And we have not obeyedh8085 the voiceh6963 of the LORDh3068 our Godh430."
