Jeremiah 3:2-4
Legacy Standard Bible
2 “Lift up your eyes to the (A)bare heights and see;
Where have you not been ravished?
By the roads you have (B)sat for them
Like [a]an Arab in the wilderness,
And you have (C)polluted a land
With your harlotry and with your evil.
3 Therefore the (D)showers have been withheld,
And the [b]late rain has not [c]come.
Yet you had a (E)harlot’s forehead;
You refused to feel dishonor.
4 Have you not just now called to Me,
‘(F)My Father, You are the [d](G)close companion of my (H)youth?

Jeremiah 3:2-4
New International Version
2 “Look up to the barren heights(A) and see.
Is there any place where you have not been ravished?
By the roadside(B) you sat waiting for lovers,
sat like a nomad in the desert.
You have defiled the land(C)
with your prostitution(D) and wickedness.
3 Therefore the showers have been withheld,(E)
and no spring rains(F) have fallen.
Yet you have the brazen(G) look of a prostitute;
you refuse to blush with shame.(H)
4 Have you not just called to me:
‘My Father,(I) my friend from my youth,(J)
