“Go and announce directly to Jerusalem that this is what the Lord says:

I remember the loyalty of your youth,
your love as a bride—
how you followed Me in the wilderness,
in a land not sown.

“Return, you faithless children”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“for I am your master, and I will take you, one from a city and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion.

I have abandoned My house;
I have deserted My inheritance.
I have given the love of My life
into the hands of her enemies.

Then the Lord said to me, “Go again; show love to a woman who is loved by another man and is an adulteress, just as the Lord loves the Israelites though they turn to other gods and love raisin cakes.”

But when the king came in to view the guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed for a wedding.

Regarding the gospel, they are enemies for your advantage, but regarding election, they are loved because of the patriarchs,

To do

I observed that it was because unfaithful Israel had committed adultery that I had sent her away and had given her a certificate of divorce. Nevertheless, her treacherous sister Judah was not afraid but also went and prostituted herself.

But look, you keep trusting in deceitful words that cannot help.

Then the Lord said to me: “Even if Moses and Samuel should stand before Me, My compassions would not reach out to these people. Send them from My presence, and let them go.

But God says to the wicked:
“What right do you have to recite My statutes
and to take My covenant on your lips?

The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable to the Lord,
but the prayer of the upright is His delight.

The sacrifice of a wicked person is detestable—
how much more so
when he brings it with ulterior motives!

Anyone who turns his ear away from hearing the law—
even his prayer is detestable.

“What are all your sacrifices to Me?”
asks the Lord.
“I have had enough of burnt offerings and rams
and the fat of well-fed cattle;
I have no desire for the blood of bulls,
lambs, or male goats.

This is what the Lord says:

Where is your mother’s divorce certificate
that I used to send her away?
Or who were My creditors that I sold you to?
Look, you were sold for your iniquities,
and your mother was put away
because of your transgressions.

Seeing

If a man divorces his wife
and she leaves him to marry another,
can he ever return to her?
Wouldn’t such a land become totally defiled?
But you!
You have played the prostitute with many partners—
can you return to Me?
This is the Lord’s declaration.

You built your elevated place at the head of every street and turned your beauty into a detestable thing. You spread your legs to everyone who passed by and increased your prostitution.

“Son of man, there were two women, daughters of the same mother,

The holy

If a man is carrying consecrated meat in the fold of his garment, and it touches bread, stew, wine, oil, or any other food, does it become holy?”

The priests answered, “No.”

To the pure, everything is pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; in fact, both their mind and conscience are defiled.

Thou doest evil

from those who enjoy doing evil
and celebrate perversion,

As shameful conduct is pleasure for a fool,
so wisdom is for a man of understanding.

Like a madman who throws flaming darts and deadly arrows,

Love finds no joy in unrighteousness
but rejoices in the truth.

But as it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.
