Jeremiah 3:1
New Catholic Bible

Chapter 3

1 [a]If a man divorces his wife,
    and she leaves him
    and marries another man,
does he have the right to return to her?
    Would not that land be completely defiled?
But, says the Lord,
    you have been unfaithful with many lovers,
    and yet you would return to me?

Footnotes

  1. Jeremiah 3:1 “Return” is the key word in the following oracles, which have to do with both the return from exile and the return to God. Jeremiah is a pitiless censor of his people’s sins, but he will not give up the hope of conversion.
