she returned not, as her rebellious sister Iudah their way, and forgotten the Lord their God. 22 O
sawe. 8 When I sawe, howe that by all occasions yee disobedient children, returne and I wil heale
rebellious Israel had plaied the harlot, I cast her your rebellions. Behold, we come vnto thee, for
away, and gaue her a bill of diuorcement: yet her thou art the Lord our God. 23 Truely the hope
rebellious sister Iudah was not afraied, but shee of the hilles is but vaine, nor the multitude of

the lightnesse of her whoredome shee hath euen of Israel. 24 For confusion hath deuoured our
defiled the lande: for shee hath committed forni- fathers labour, from our youth their sheepe and
cation with stones and stockes. 10 Neuerthelesse their bullocks, their sonnes and their daughters.
for all this, her rebellious sister Iudah hath not 25 Wee lie downe in our confusion, and our shame
returned vnto mee with her whole heart, but couereth vs: for we haue sinned against the Lord

O Israel, if thou returne, returne vnto me,

woulde not obey my voyce, sayeth the Lord. 14 O shall glorie in him. 3 For thus saith the Lord
4
yee disobedient children, turne againe, sayeth to the men of Iudah, and to Ierusalem, Breake
the Lord, for I am your Lord, and I will take vp your fallowe ground, and sowe not among
you one of a citie, and two of a tribe and wil the thornes: be circumcised to the Lord, and
bring you to Zion, 15 And I will giue you pastours take away the foreskinnes of your hearts, ye men
according to mine heart, which shall feede you of Iudah, and inhabitants of Ierusalem, lest my
