00:30.000 --> 00:33.480
And thou hast polluted the land with thy
whoredoms and with thy wickedness.

00:34.620 --> 00:38.300
Therefore the showers have been
withholden, and there hath been no latter

00:38.300 --> 00:38.680
rain.

00:39.620 --> 00:42.980
And thou hadst a whore's forehead,
thou refusest to be ashamed.

00:44.120 --> 00:48.880
Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me,
My father, thou art the guide of my youth?

00:49.520 --> 00:51.200
Will he reserve his anger for ever?

00:51.800 --> 00:53.020
Will he keep it to the end?

00:54.240 --> 00:58.200
Behold, thou hast spoken, and done evil
things as thou couldest.

00:59.080 --> 01:04.120
The Lord said also unto me in the days of
Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which

01:04.120 --> 01:05.780
backsliding Israel hath done?

01:06.460 --> 01:10.620
She has gone up upon every high mountain
and under every green tree, and there hath

01:10.620 --> 01:11.580
played the harlot.

01:12.520 --> 01:16.440
And I said, after she had done all these
things, Turn thou unto me.

01:17.220 --> 01:21.120
But she returned not, and her treacherous
sister Judah saw it.

01:21.620 --> 01:26.300
And I saw, when for all the causes whereby
backsliding Israel committed adultery,

01:26.300 --> 01:29.320
I had put her away, and given her a bill
of divorce.

01:29.820 --> 01:34.140
Yet her treacherous sister Judah feared
not, but went and played the harlot also.

01:35.200 --> 01:39.000
And it came to pass, through the likeness
of her whoredom, that she defiled the

01:39.000 --> 01:42.200
land, and committed adultery with stones
and with stocks.

01:43.240 --> 01:47.740
And yet for all this, her treacherous
sister Judah hath not turned unto me with

01:47.740 --> 01:51.200
a whole heart, but faintly, saith the
Lord.

01:51.200 --> 01:57.220
And the Lord said unto me, The backsliding
Israel hath justified herself more than

01:57.220 --> 01:58.240
treacherous Judah.

01:59.520 --> 02:04.800
Go and proclaim these words toward the
north, and say, Return thou backsliding

02:04.800 --> 02:10.000
Israel, saith the Lord, and I will not
cause mine anger to fall upon you.

02:10.680 --> 02:15.580
For I am merciful, saith the Lord,
and I will not keep anger for ever.

02:16.580 --> 02:20.660
Only acknowledge thine iniquity,
that thou hast transgressed against the

02:20.660 --> 02:24.860
Lord thy God, and hast scattered thy ways
to the strangers under every green tree,

02:25.400 --> 02:28.360
and ye have not obeyed my voice,
saith the Lord.

02:29.400 --> 02:34.280
Turn, O backsliding children, saith the
Lord, for I am married unto you,

02:35.020 --> 02:39.460
and I will take you one of a city,
and two of a family, and I will bring you

02:39.460 --> 02:39.960
to Zion.

02:40.720 --> 02:44.880
And I will give you pastors according to
mine heart, which shall feed you with

02:44.880 --> 02:46.080
knowledge and understanding.

02:47.500 --> 02:51.140
And it shall come to pass, when ye be
multiplied and increased in the land in

02:51.140 --> 02:52.760
those days, saith the Lord.

02:53.520 --> 02:54.620
They shall say no more.

02:55.740 --> 02:59.140
The ark of the covenant of the Lord,
neither shall it come to mind,

02:59.760 --> 03:04.260
neither shall they remember it,
neither shall they visit it, neither shall

03:04.260 --> 03:05.380
that be done any more.

03:06.080 --> 03:10.360
At that time they shall call Jerusalem the
throne of the Lord, and all the nations

03:10.360 --> 03:14.060
shall be gathered unto it, to the name of
the Lord, to Jerusalem.

03:14.880 --> 03:18.880
Neither shall they walk any more after the
imagination of their evil heart.

03:19.600 --> 03:22.900
In those days the house of Judah shall
walk with the house of Israel,

03:23.500 --> 03:27.080
and they shall come together out of the
land of the north, to the land that I have

03:27.080 --> 03:29.840
given for an inheritance unto your
fathers.

03:30.580 --> 03:35.920
But I said, How shall I put thee among the
children, and give thee a pleasant land,

03:36.220 --> 03:38.300
a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations?

03:38.780 --> 03:44.480
And I said, Thou shalt call me my father,
and shalt not turn away from me.

03:45.540 --> 03:49.940
Surely as a wife treacherously departeth
from her husband, so have ye dealt

03:49.940 --> 03:53.260
treacherously with me, O house of Israel,
saith the Lord.

03:53.260 --> 03:58.600
A voice was heard upon the high places,
weeping and supplications of the children

03:58.600 --> 03:59.140
of Israel.

04:00.040 --> 04:03.440
For they have perverted their way,
and they have forgotten the Lord their

04:03.440 --> 04:03.800
God.

04:04.640 --> 04:08.620
Return ye backsliding children,
and I will heal your backslidings.

04:09.260 --> 04:13.580
Behold, we come unto thee, for thou art
the Lord our God.

04:14.560 --> 04:18.840
Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from
the hills, and from the multitude of

04:18.840 --> 04:19.260
mountains.

04:20.480 --> 04:23.440
Truly in the Lord our God is the salvation
of Israel.

04:24.340 --> 04:28.500
For shame hath devoured the labour of our
fathers from our youth, their flocks and

04:28.500 --> 04:30.320
their herds, their sons and their
daughters.

04:31.260 --> 04:34.760
We lie down in our shame, and our
confusion covereth us.

04:36.060 --> 04:40.600
For we have sinned against the Lord our
God, we and our fathers, from our youth

04:40.600 --> 04:44.720
even unto this day, and have not obeyed
the voice of the Lord our God.
