Jeremiah 3:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 Nevertheless for all this, her rebellious sister Judah hath not returned unto me with [a]her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the Lord.
11 And the Lord said unto me, The rebellious Israel hath [b]justified herself more than the rebellious Judah.
12 Go and cry these words toward [c]the North, and say, Thou disobedient Israel, return, saith the Lord, and I will not let my wrath fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not always keep mine anger.
