Jeremiah 3:5 Context
3Therefore the showres haue bin withholden, and there hath bene no latter raine, and thou haddest a whores forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed. 4Wilt thou not from this time cry vnto me; My father, thou art the guide of my youth? 5Will he reserue his anger for euer? wil he keepe it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done euill things as thou couldest. 6¶ The Lord said also vnto me, in the daies of Iosiah the king, Hast thou seene that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone vp vpon euery high mountaine, and vnder euery greene tree, and there hath plaied the harlot. 7And I said after she had done all these things; Turne thou vnto me: but shee returned not, and her treacherous sister Iudah saw it.
